As this method of "classification" is relative \, it will not describe each fractal uniquely \, but rather can be used to compare attractor sets that have similar (closely related) parameter values. NOTE: there needs to be a way to increase the granularity of the classification system...; #X text 35 21 Parameter Ranges - Once you have an operational fractal external \, it is important to make sure that the assigned ranges for each of the parameters are "optimized" to limit the random number generator to those ranges. This is important when a variable can only range between (-1 .. 1) and you have declared that it can range from (-100 .. 100). Because of the much wider search space \, there is less likelyhood of finding anything useful \, or at least make the search times longer due to higher failure rates.; #X text 35 147 If you are unsure of what the ranges are \, you can either figure them out mathematically \, or use the "brute-force" method and iterate over ranges of the defined parameters. The points that return a fractal (even ones that converge) will give an indication as to the acceptable ranges for each param. Once you have determined those ranges \, adjust them in your '*.frac' file and re-make the external for your fractal. (Or you can just edit the Macros in the C code \, if you are comfortable with that.); ``````
