Fat tentacle arms curl out from the centre, each capped with a rounded tip, while thin concentric rings breathe behind the writhing bundle.

A bundle of fat tentacles writhes out from the centre of the frame, each arm
thickening toward its rounded, darker-capped tip, while thin pale rings pulse
concentrically behind the mass. The arms curl and re-curl as the bundle slowly
rotates, hues sliding from teal through red to lime and violet.

Each tentacle is a trail of point stamps: a station orbiting the centre leaves
copies of itself at growing radius, weight and rotation, and that accumulated
per-copy rotation is what bends a straight trail into a curl. The last copy is
drawn thin and darkened, capping the tube with the rim that makes it read as
solid; the halo is a separate fan of concentric circles orbiting the middle on
its own small circle.
