OBSERVATION 002
Press the picture to reduce the points.40,000 → 625 → 40 → 1. Restore at any step.
At fewer points, dots grow and trails linger to help you follow their paths.
“Listen” maps the displayed points to sound.Changing the count rebuilds the sound.
The signal to open travels from the centre outward.
The further out the petal, the later it moves, and the deeper it lies back.

The same point number and time give the same coordinates.
Trails and the appearance of points depend on rendering settings and the device.
The button above takes the equation out as it is. To count it again yourself:
