Ribbons v9 — Atom
Red orbital lobes cross through a shared nucleus, wobbling under a fine jitter while their count drifts between fold values.
Red loops cross through a shared centre like orbitals around a nucleus, their surfaces faintly trembling, over a burst of fine red rays. The number of loops drifts — a lobe splits, another is absorbed — without the knot ever standing still.
The stamp radius runs from negative to positive, so every lobe passes through the origin and out the far side; the crossings at the centre are the path itself, not an overlap accident. A small high-frequency sine offset shakes each stamp, roughening the satin, and the fold count eases through a short preset sequence, re-tying the knot as it goes.
