F.O.T.N. (Fractal of the Night) 27 Apr 1998 (In One Piece)


Is it the End of Time? Or just Dr. J's time? Has Dr. J distintegrated? Did he come unglued? Did he get a vision answering his questions about origins? Will the future FotN stories feature only Dr. E (Dr. J's wife), the sensible scientist of FractoSpace?  

Dr. J has cooled down and stopped fizzing and sputtering. But where are the rest of his pixels? In fact, look! He is no longer a fractal!! Tonight's picture, just in from Dr. J's security camera shows what is left of Dr. J.  It looks like he is nothing but a cardioid and a few circles! What will Dr. E have to say about this?  Oh my!

Figure 1.  In One Piece?

Stay tuned, because it's not over until it's over.

The parameter and formula files for Fractint are included below. Copy them into a quickie.par file for quick loading into Fractint. For longer term use, copy the frm: block into a FotN.frm file. But this time leave off the 'frm:' part.  Then copy the rest (the par parts) into your FotN.par file.
