A twist travels from one end to the other.

Where it turns over, light collects.

It is bright not because it is thicker there.
Only at the moment the surface faces us is its full width visible at once.
While it is edge-on, the sash is almost a line.

The same sash, by orientation alone,
becomes a line, then a surface.

Read and verify the equation
(i, t,
        u = i * .618034 % 1, v = (i * .754878 % 1) * 2 - 1,
        z = 1.25 * sin(u * 4 - t * 2) + .6 * sin(u * 7 + t),
        w = 64 * sin(PI * u ** .8) ** .5,
        y = 200 + 64 * sin(u * 3 - t * 2) * (.3 + u * .7),
        Q = [26 + 348 * u, y + v * w * cos(z) + v * w * sin(z) * .3],
        Dx = 200 + 55 * sin(t + 2.75) + 22 * sin(t * 2 + 4.67),
        Dy = 200 + 58 * cos(t + 3.58) + 16 * sin(t * 3 + 2.75)
       ) => [Dx + (Q[0] - 200) * .68, Dy + (Q[1] - 200) * .68]

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:

pbpaste > f.txt && printf %s "$(cat f.txt)" | shasum -a 256
