# Torsade v11 — Infinite

A mirrored pair of thick strands ties itself into a knot that never settles, winding, crossing and re-knotting in shifting green, pink and violet.

Two thick mirrored strands tangle in the middle of the frame, tying themselves
into a loose knot, sliding apart and knotting again in some new figure. Colour
pools in patches of green, salmon-pink, blue and violet that migrate along the
tubes.

The pair is stamped along a straight line like its siblings, but the twist
angle is fed back through itself: the mapping's own bounds are sines and
cosines of the position and of time, so winding rate and direction drift
chaotically instead of repeating a clean helix. Each channel of the fill
follows a different combination of that angle, which is why the palette
separates into shifting colour regions rather than one rainbow sweep.
