Visual traits

  • One continuous thin line loops around many times, never lifting, building a dense woven figure
  • The figure has rotational or mirror symmetry, and the loops slowly shrink or drift as the oscillations decay (harmonograph)
  • Where the line crosses itself many times, the overlaps glow brightest
  • Color changes gradually along the line (cyan to magenta to gold)
  • In motion, the line is traced out and the ratios slowly shift

Prompt

Lissajous and harmonograph curve: one continuous thin glowing line looping many times into a dense woven figure with rotational symmetry, loops slowly shrinking and drifting as the oscillations decay, brightest where the line overlaps itself, color shifting along the line from cyan to magenta to gold, on a near-black background with additive blending. As video, the line is traced out.
