The Sea

40000 points ・ 5s per turn

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 hairs along the rim sway, each one later than the last.

The body itself changes its posture as it goes.

A wave is not being sent through a fixed shape.
The way the body bends is different every time.
So the same figure never appears twice — until it comes round.

The hairs do not stand straight out.
They curve back a little.
Straight, they read as bristles. Curved, they read as soft.

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:
