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.
An empty place opens in the middle.
As the ring shrinks, inner points overlap and cover the hole.
As it expands, a dark opening appears again.

At six hundred and twenty-five points, gaps open beyond the hole as well.
At one, the middle and its surroundings are the same black.
Where did the hole go?

The same point number and time give the same coordinates.
Trails and the appearance of points depend on rendering settings and the device.
