Spiroplots: a New Discrete-time Dynamical System to Generate Curve Patterns

Year: 2020 Authors: Casper van Dommelen; Marc van Kreveld; Jérôme Urhausen

Core claim

A sequence of point-pair rotations can generate rich abstract patterns while preserving linear structure and revealing how input geometry controls cyclicity.
