Precisely correct!  My sentence is intentional irony.
Mankind constantly handles abstract concepts that are not
"real" in the physical sense, yet most certainly do exist.
If we give these concepts names such as: "love", "honor",
or "fractals", there is no contention.  It is only when we
begin applying names such as "God", "Heaven", or "the human
soul that survives death" to our abstract concepts that the
contention arises.  Why are mere labels so important?

There obviously is a connection between the idea of fractals
and the idea of God, since both are abstractions.  But I
don't feel that this list is the place to discuss the topic.
Maybe we need a separate mailing list to discuss the
philosophical aspect of fractals.  But if fractals had no
philosophical aspect, I would have grown tired of them 10
years ago.

I heartily agree with you on the philosophical aspects of fractals. I
can't look at a fractal without trying to understand it and anything it
may represent. This goes beyond just trying to title a fractal.=20

Your FOTD essays have generated a lot of philosophical discussions,
including subjects like  GOD, reality, and their relationship to
fractals. There also seems to be several people that like to comment on
or just read the discussion on these ideas. I wonder if it would be
possible to talk Tim into creating another mailing list, or perhaps
somebody else has an idea on where such a mailing list could be created.

I don't know about others, but some fractals really are interesting, while
others are not the slightest bit interesting at all... at first I thought it
might be the color maps, then I realized it was more the intricacy and
complexity vs the simplicity.   Hard to explain, but some fractals 'have it'
and some 'don't'.

I can create such a list, if there is interest. I thought about whether
this sort of discussion is appropriate for the Fractal-Art list, and I
don't think it is. I'm not sure another list will survive long, once the
current surge of interest dies, but I don't have any objections to setting
up the list if someone else wants to actually administer it. (i.e. deal
with unsubscribing people whose addresses fail, etc--and of course keeping
the discussion on topic and squelching nuisances. :)

I also fear that a fractal philosophy list would come on with a
burst of activity and then die a lingering death.  Tim seems
willing to admit the topic of fractal philosophy onto this list
- -- as long as we don't start fighting among ourselves.  What we
want to avoid is the anger that so often arises whenever matters
of religion and Atheism are discussed.  Unfortunately, in my
experience, this is nearly impossible to do.

See you in the FOTD.

Sure they could, although it could well take hundreds of
years to generate one. But humanity has completed other
projects which took hundreds of years, such as building
cathedrals. In fact, you could say that building present
day cultures has taken thousands of years. Remember also
that the original meaning of the word "computer" was a
person who performed mathematical calculations.

Subject: (fractint) Spines and rivers

Usually I post related pars but this time I feel like posting images that
go in wildly different directions.

The Spines par is in a series of plastic, rounded forms. Gradual changes in
the color map produce highlights and muted depths.

The river view series of pars is something I have just started to wander
through. I imagine folded hills covered with cultivated fields, ponds in
valleys, pathways or rustic roads meandering.

After all, _all_ of these experiences (fractals, tastes, hate and so on),
are the outcome (somehow) of the working of our brains. All of them have
the same physical existence as variations in the electrical and chemical
dynamics of the subject's brain.

Thing is, there's only so much brainpower to go round in any given person
(some more than others, but still: what you've got is what you've got). So
how are fractals treated by the brain? When you're contemplating a fractal,
are the parts of your brain that are the most active the same as or working
with parts that respond particularly to music? Vision? Trees? The concept
of God? Modern brain scanning techniques may well put some meat on what is
here just a stick-figure idea.

It may be that fractals have such a profound effect on so many people with
all sorts of outlooks on life has something to do with our brains just
happening to be wired up to appreciate them? Not because they're fractals,
but because they're so much like (neurologically speaking) things we're
already bred to find fascinating?

And if so, what guarantee would we have that another intelligence (aliens,
for short) would find the things at all interesting?

Subject: (fractint) ParToBat

Anybody had problems running ParToBat from Windows 98?

Last night I simply could not get it to work - not from Windows, from the
Windows DOS prompt or after  rebooting to DOS and trying it from various
directories.  All I could ever get was "Runtime error 200 @ 0356:0091" -
whatever I tried.

Tonight no problems - same files, same directories???

Gremlins.

Wayne

BTW    I'm impressed with the way '98 handles video mapping.  I can now generate
            images in SF7 mode and swap back and forth to other programs and not
            have a garbled Fractint screen when I return.  Saves generating them
            in Video Mode and converting back to SF7 later.

You probably need the new version of partobat (v3.5), designed to run on very
fast machines. You can get a copy from Jo Weber's page at:

I would like to see such a list created; one where the long-winded nature of
fractal philosophy discussions could reach its potential.  As far as the current
interest in this thread dwindling, I suspect the list traffic would surge and
calm as most lists do, but at least the list would be there for the surges; it
would also give individuals interested in philosophy, but not so much in the
workings of Fractint, a fractal-related list they might like to subscribe to.
Hopefully, Jim Muth would post his FOTD there, providing a minimum of traffic
and philosophy at all times!

Subject: Re: (fractint) Spines and rivers

The other day I posted a par (reposted below) that reminded me of views of
a river country. Since then I've found a few more that please me. I like
the gray and tan areas that remind me of sandy soil. The neat rows that
seem to be orchards or vineyards. Dark lakes and meandering waterways and
roads.

This series has been instructive in learning another Fractint tool. The
initial view of each of the fractals was flat and (if you think of them as
landscapes) from directly overhead. With some experimenting with the
x-magnification parameter, I was able to create views that were more akin
to views from less lofty heights; from scenic overlooks if you will. (Type
z, F6 to get to the screen with x-mag. If you rotate the image you will
probably want to type z, F6, F4 to reset the x-mag.)

Dear fractal lovers,
I just followed the discussion for some days and now I found something of
which at least some you might interest: mid files based on the Gingerbread
fractal.
I really enjoy the 'strange' sound of the jazz.mid
Have a nice hour! and here is the address:

This sort of mailing list is a natural for
http://www.egroups.com/   It's
free, spam-free and already has a couple of philosophy lists,
(mostly
jobs, meetings and calls for papers).

Actually, I've heard an explanation of the verse in question that showed
that the value of Pi was not 3, but a very accurate representation of
the actual value of Pi.  Unfortunately, I cannot recall the details well
enough to present them here.  Should anyone be interested in specific
details, please email me privately, and I'll try to locate the reference
of the explanation.

Sylvie,

Wonderful, as usually, but I was very intrigued by the fern in the lower
row of page 8.

Your attention, please, this is an important public announcement...

The January issue (#3) of the Franktal Gallery is hot off the press.
It features a Zappafractals special, a bunch of images from my A0
formula, and lots of miscellaneous fractalettes for your viewing
pleasure.
Enjoy ! And please let me know your reactions.

You have been warned.

Inspired by an ongoing challenge at the Ultrafractal list for gray scale
images, I added a page of black and white fractals to my Geocities web
site. I hope you enjoy your visit.

If you visited my site recently, the old version may still be in your
cache. Please hit reload button to make sure you are getting the updated
version. I made some extensive changes on many of the pages. Thanks.
