True. But my description illustrates an idealized case. In the FOTD for the
29th
I go into the multiple rotations.

Unfortunately also true. And it takes much of the fun out of hypothesizing
four-space
and higher space planets. But my hypothetical planet is precariously
balanced
precisely in an orbit where it can circle its sun for a time long enough for
intelligent
life to develop before it escapes or is incinerated. I assume that the life
will develop
the technology to keep the planet in its proper place.
BTW, permanent orbits are possible in two space, though the orbits will
precess at
a fairly rapid rate.

Sounds like WXP is giving it some clock time, then
reacting to Fractint which maybe appears to be idle
because it's polling for keyboard input and not
getting any. You can probably adjust priorities of
Fractint under WXP? Sorry, can't help you, OS/2 doesn't
give me this problem.
There used to be a DOS utility program that made such
apps behave themselves under multitasking OSes. Maybe
someone remebers?

In Greg Egan's novel _Diaspora_, a five-dimensional world is explored; the
problem of there being no stable orbits is handled quite handily.

Based on the assumption that the only form of life that can exist is the
sort that we're familiar with, and the fact that physical laws are
different in four-dimensional space (the no-stable-orbits problem also
applies to electromagnetism, for example) to an extent that life of the
sort we're familiar with cannot exist in four-dimensional space...

In what manner are you running FractInt under XP??
1. From the START | RUN selection.
2. From an icon shortcut on the Desktop.
3. From a PIF link to the program.
Have you checked the Properties if running from a link or icon?? If it
is like the Win-95 and 98, then you may have settings you can adjust,
such as "Idle Sensitivity" (which should be at Low).
Sincerely,
P.N.L.

Subject: (fractint) FOTD 30-10-01 (Cyclone of Numbers [8])
FOTD -- October 30, 2001 (Rating 8)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
Most cyclones consist of a lot of wind and rain, but today's
fractal cyclone was created by numbers. In recognition of this
fact, I named the image "Cyclone of Numbers". It's a rather
striking and brilliant image, one that, with its bronze disk
around the midget, honestly earns its exalted rating of 8.
The formula that produces the image subtracts some Z^(0.6) from
some Z^(2.3) and adds the standard C. The overly critical
values of real(p1) and real(p2) show that the parent fractal,
which is well worth a look, was found with the evolver feature
of Fractint, a feature I often use when I need a fractal and
time is short.
Unfortunately, the parameter file is slow. It takes almost 27
minutes to render on my creaky old Pentium running at 200mhz.
But as always, salvation is at hand in the form of the rendered
image, which is available on the W.W.Web at:
<http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
and at:
<http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>
The fractal weather today turned out to be much more to the
cats' liking. The sunny skies, light winds, and temperature of
61F 16C made conditions on the porch ideal for sleeping. This
is what the fractal cats did all afternoon, while in some
amazing manner continuing to guard Fractal Central like two
fearless watchcats. (When an intruder threatens, the cats'
attack is quite effective. The draft behind them as they dash
for cover knocks the intruder flat.)
But even such intrepid cats would be lost on a 4-dimensional
hyperplanet without a longitude-altitude-latitude grid to fix
their position. To actually fix a position on such a planet, we
can start at a defined zero-zero-zero point, just as we do on
earth, where the zero-zero point lies off the west coast of
Africa.
From this point we can lay out the great circle of the equator,
which, just as on earth, circles the planet at its broadest
point. By specifying a point on this equatorial circle
(longitude), we define a great sphere of the hyperspherical
planet. We can then discard the rest of the equatorial circle,
and let it slip into hyperspace.
We are left with a normal 3-D sphere, which we can fully
visualize. This sphere can be taken as a longitude surface of
the hypersphere. Our location on this sphere can then be taken
as one of the sphere's poles. The equator of the entire
hypersphere still cuts through the sphere at this polar point,
though the remainder of the equator is no longer visible. And
now, for the first time, we can see the entire polar circle of
the hypersphere, which appears 90 degrees away as the apparent
equator of the newly-defined sphere, which in this case is a
cold zone.
From the pole of the sphere it is a simple matter to mark a
direction, which defines a circle of the sphere and the altitude
of the hypersphere, and a distance, which fixes a point on the
circle of the sphere and the latitude on the hypersphere.
By discarding one dimension halfway through, we have reduced the
locating process to one that can be visualized. If we attempt
to remain in hyperspace all the way, things become more
difficult. We start with the equator of the hypersphere, just
as before, but instead of marking a point on the equator
(longitude) and a direction from the equator (altitude), we skip
directly to the distance from the equator (latitude).
Since the surface of a hypersphere is three-dimensional, we have
an entire 360-degree circle of directions in which to depart
from the equator. We have defined a shape much like a doughnut.
Very near to the equator, this doughnut is very thin, like a
hula hoop. The surface of this doughnut marks a latitude
surface of the hypersphere.
As we move farther from the equator, the doughnut grows fatter,
but it no longer fits into 3-D space. In some manner beyond our
power of visualization the latitude doughnut reaches 45 degrees
toward the polar circle, at which point it surrounds both the
polar circle and equator of the hyperplanet in the same manner
at a mutual distance of 45 degrees. From here on, the latitude
doughnut approaches the polar circle, growing thinner as the
latitude increases, until at last it forms a hula hoop around
the polar circle. . . .
Well, I'll have to finish tomorrow. I seem to have gotten
carried away in hyperspace, and now find myself with certain
tasks that need to be done. The way to get the tasks finished
is to get them started, so until next time, take care, and then
do even more.

Fellow Fractaliers (incl MLO & RM):
<p>Any of you 4/5-D speculators read <b>Science News</b> or <b>Physics
Review Letters</b>, or visited the <b>LANL Website</b> in the last few
years???
<p>Suggest you take a look at the current state of the art re cosmologic
philo-speculation, <b>(<A HREF="http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/hep-th/0108187">http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/hep-th/0108187</A>)</b>, in
which the math really works, and results in Hubble-provable hypotheses.
They suggest that within the year, we could have objective evidence as
to whether the Universe is 11-D (4-D to us mortals) or not, the dimension
of the space in which it is embedded, and whether other such intriguing
possi- bilities as silicon or iron-based life forms exist elsewhere in
the universe, and hyper-c speed travel is likely soon. And the Los Alamos
papers (most awaiting publication) are written in language even I could
understand.
<p>A good review of the hypersphere links PNL has repeatedly inserted is
good prep for the LANL/PRL articles. The LANL and <b>Sante Fe Institute
of Complexity</b> archives are really quite amazing fractal resources w/
whole sections relevant to your questions.

I found Fractint about as randomly as I found the first program. I can't
remember how I found it, but I do remember downloading it just for the
hell of it. Actually, I got Dos Fractint and Winfract at the same time.
I used Winfract first because the video modes on Fractint didn't work
right/confused me. But as anyone who has used winfract knows, it's quite
inferior to the real Fractint. I think the first version I had was 19.x.
This kind of fits with the discussion about WinXP:
I recently got a new computer with WinME. A lot of my old dos programs
don't run, giving this error message:
Runtime error 200 at 0DEC:0091.
or something similar. Anyone know how to get around this? Also, is
there a way to run the computer in dos mode?

Some other suggestions are available from here:
http://spanky.triumf.ca/www/fractint/fracwin95.html
That is if the Properties for the FractInt.exe under XP is the same as
for Win-95 & 98.
Sincerely,

Subject: (fractint) FOTD 31-10-01 (Ghostly Ectoplasm [5])
FOTD -- October 31, 2001 (Rating 5)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
Today is Halloween here at Fractal Central. The fractal cats
are celebrating by doing nothing. I am celebrating by showing a
sample of fractal ectoplasm.
Ectoplasm is the substance ghosts are made of. It is an
extremely elusive substance -- so elusive in fact that many
doubt its existence. To my knowledge, no one has yet produced a
sample of this substance. We have only pictures to show that it
exists.
But this elusiveness does not prove that ectoplasm does not
exist. Fractals are just as elusive. No one has seen a real
physical fractal. We have only pictures of fractals to show
that they exist, yet no one doubts the existence of fractals.
I named today's image "Ghostly Ectoplasm". That's what it's a
picture of. Since ectoplasm is controversial, I could rate the
image at only a 5.
The render time of 38 minutes is a bit slow. The download from:
<http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
or:
<http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>
is much faster.
The fractal weather was uneventful today, with sun and a
temperature of 64F 18C which pleased the cats.
And I would be pleased if the day's work were finished. So I'd
best get started. Until next time, take care, and don't get
spooked.

Subject: (fractint) FOTD 01-11-01 (Midget for the Season [6])
FOTD -- November 01, 2001 (Rating 6)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
With its festive appearance, today's brilliant fractal might be
hung on a seasonal tree, where its glowing midget would bring
joy to all who behold it. Yes, I realize that fractals are
unreal abstractions invented by over-educated (or under-
educated) mathematicians, and therefore cannot be hung on a
tree, but it's still a good thought. Considering the warm fuzzy
feelings I was given by the thought, I named the image "Midget
for the Season".
The parent fractal consists of one oversized area of chaos with
a large Mandeloid toward the north edge. This large chaotic
area is surrounded by much smaller midgets scattered in all
directions. One of these midgets, which lies in the east
suburbs of the main area of chaos, is partially obscured, but
enough of the midget is visible so that a valley can be
discerned. Today's scene is located in the center of this
valley.
In my opinion, the image rates a 6, and that's the rating I gave
it. The render time of 6 minutes on my antiquated 200mhz
Pentium machine is even faster on a new 1.5ghz unit. But the
fastest way to see the image is to download it from:
<http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
or from:
<http://sdboyd.dyndns.org/~sdboyd/fotd/index.html>
where it will soon be posted.
The fractal weather today here at Fractal Central was just what
the fractal cats ordered -- lots of sun, light winds, and a
temperature of 65F 18.5C. The cats spent five hours in the
yard, celebrating.
As for me, I've got vague thoughts of inspirational philosophy
and hyperspatial adventures, but nothing is ready at this time.
Tomorrow may be a different story, so check then to see. Until
next time, take care, pray for peace, but be prepared anyway.
