Celestial Spirograph

From RETROSPECTIVE FUTURE - Custom generative engine

"A living manuscript of stars - as if someone wrote the formulas of the Universe with a pen of light" This shader animation is a procedural visual organism built on three layers of mathematics: Shader architecture: 12-fold angular symmetry divides the space into identical petals, inside which live 6 independent spirographic rings. Each ring pulsates according to its own trigonometric law - they never exactly repeat. The palette is built on the formula of Inigo Kiles - cosine interpolation between colors gives that characteristic transition from amethyst-purple through gold to steel blue. Three additional layers are superimposed on top of the rings: "breathing" radial rays, a central 12-pointed star and a pulsating core - together they create a sense of depth and a living heartbeat.
