Albrecht's fractal music - Move3 Part 3, "Homecoming"
by Harold Lane 04 Nov '17

04 Nov '17

After "a lot of experimenting," Albrecht has written a new Fractal Rhythm scheme and produced new fractal music, whose title is: "Homecoming". ;This is the rhythm: DR=83142114882211241322131211314121 DR=63142114882211241322131211314121 DR=43142114882211241322131211314121 DR=23142114882211241322131211314121 DR=314211488221124132213121131411 DR=214211488221124132213121131411 DR=13142114882211241322131211314121 DR=33142114882211241322131211314121 DR=53142114882211241322131211314121 DR=73142114882211241322131211314121 ;This is the IFS File SQUARE.IFS { ; Albrect 2017-11-01 0.500 0.000 0.000 0.500 -2.094 -0.769 0.250 0.500 0.000 0.000 0.500 -2.101 -0.012 0.250 0.500 0.000 0.000 0.500 -0.029 0.019 0.250 0.500 0.000 0.000 0.500 -0.041 -0.761 0.250 } I put Albrecht's IFS image and MIDI format music file on my server. For the IFS fractal, I arbitrarily chose 350 iterations and the rotated Froth3.map color map shown in the screencap below: I squeezed the incorrect aspect ratio image from Fractint for Windows beta 5 (not for general distribution; renamed Iterated Dynamics) with a graphics app to make it square. I like the way the "squares" are ever-so-slightly tilted, so that they: - leave slivers of empty space *and* - overlap a sliver of the adjacent square on all size scales: Be sure to view the image full size, or your browser will likely blur the single pixels. http://tinyurl.com/SQUARE-IFS or: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/Music/2017-11-01_Square_IFS.jpg Here's his 82 KB MIDI file: http://tinyurl.com/Homecoming-MID or: http://www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/Music/2017-11-01_Homecoming.MID As Albrecht's comment: - "Sometimes you walk, sometimes you take a slow path and dream, sometimes you run." implies, his nicely-counterpointed music sometimes strides along, sometimes meanders, but, always moves forward -- towards home. - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ######################## --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

I didn't look for an image, but maybe Fractint plus an appropriate color mask could render something like it? https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/10/171030154443.htm -- David W.

Re: [Fractint] New email

I've been out of the country in Southern Africa and off the grid. The archives look OK to me right now. True that November hasn't shown up yet, but there's usually a delay. As has been mentioned, from time to time there have been problems. Sometimes the missing posts appear when the Xmission folks look at the mailman server and do magic incantations, but sometimes there's a permanent gap if there was a real server hardware problem. I have all the emails on my machine (not that that fact helps much.). I have no powers to directly look at the archives server. It is possible to grab all the archives with the httrack application.

Re: [Fractint] Update 10-29 to SDL version
by Jonathan Osuch 01 Nov '17

Folks, Fixed 'history' ('h' and 'CNTL-h'). Fixed the ant type. Sped up initial color cycling. Number pad works. Sped up response to a key press in large disk video modes. Fixed the artifacts from the blinking cursor. Updated character set to include the arrow symbols thanks to Harold Lane. Windows version (32-bit) is: https://fractint.net/ftp/experimental/SDL2-fractint-20.05alpha-2017-10- 29.zip Pre-compiled 64-bit Linux version is: http://www.fractint.net/ftp/experimental/SDL2-Xfractint-20.05alpha-2017 -10-29.tar.gz or look in the directory: https://fractint.net/ftp/experimental/ Jonathan

kaos and quantum entanglement
by Edward Montague 29 Oct '17

29 Oct '17

I came across this article at the futurism website. https://futurism.com/new-equation-explains-quantum-chaos/ One of the links , the author's , goes through to a location where the experimental and theoretical results , tend to show that quantum entanglement has strong similarities to the Julia set . This suggest another approach to taming quantum entanglement. The UNSW , Australia , depicts quantum entanglement as being a tenuous connection between two particles , or group of particles . Of course quantum entanglement is a three dimensional effect , four if you include time , to model this something like Mandelbulber might be used . There might be even more dimensions involved with quantum entanglement .

Well, you can change resolution/screen sizes, do color cycling, probably some other things that non-SDL XFractint doesn't do. Non-SDL XFractint has a command line option to specify the window size, I have mine set to 1920x1080 to fit my desktop. I haven't checked to see if any of the DOS Fractint memory limitations have been relaxed in XFractint, such as in the formula parser. SDL XFractint can't currently do things like reload saved images (at least mine crashes when I do that). It can crash mysteriously when dragging the XFractint window around on the desktop. I think most of the SDL XFractint issues have been mentioned on the list recently? > On another note , I'm using onboard , graphical keyboard , with > xfractint and this is quite convenient . Sorry, don't know what that means. I use my boring old favorite clicky IBM AT keyboard. My tablet has a graphical keyboard, but I don't use Fractint on it. ;) -- David W.
