Points are placed by the same equation and time.
Reduce their number and the whole shape becomes harder to see.
The remaining points still follow the same paths.

Numbers follow the order of discovery.

All observations

40,000 → 625 → 40 → 1, then back to 40,000. The equation stays the same.
At fewer points, dots grow and trails linger to help you follow their paths.
Open an observation to hold time or read and rewrite its equation.
