Fourier Circle Drawing Tool Lacks Support for Discontinuous Plotting

Updated 10/1/2026, 22:08:50

Problem

Commenters note that the current implementation only rotates nested circles within a plane and cannot encode stroke discontinuities in higher dimensions, limiting the ability to draw discontinuous shapes. They also raise questions about algorithmic clarity and potential extensions such as Turing‑completeness.

Can't you have another set of circles perpendicular to plane, which encode when the pencil draws, allowing for discontinuous regions?
