# Neon v0 — Legacy

A heavy rainbow cord writhes down a black canvas, re-knotting itself as its wave shape glides between preset curl patterns.

A single thick strand hangs down the middle of the frame and never stops
writhing: loops tighten, slide along the cord and release, while colour runs
the full spectrum along its length. The whole figure sways as its curl pattern
slowly trades one knot shape for another.

There is no curve object behind it. Points are spaced along a straight vertical
guide, each pushed sideways by paired sine and cosine polar offsets, and
stamped as one enormous round stroke dot; hundreds of overlapping stamps fuse
into the tube. The polar exponents glide through a short preset sequence of
integers, which is what re-knots the curl, and this founding version lays the
strand in a single bare pass — the glow halos arrive in its successors.
