OBSERVATION 024
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.
Joining the places equally near to three stones.
Around a stone it becomes a ring.
Far from the stones the lines run straight.
Where ring meets ring, a crease forms.
That is the same distance from either stone.
It belongs to neither.
The lines are the same width from beginning to end.
It looks crowded not because the spacing is narrow
but because that is where nearness changes fastest.

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
