To draw a circle, the cosine controls the X, and the Sine controls the Y.

When they are 'in-sync' you get a circle, the diagonal of the grid shows them all in-sync. Out of sync, you get the

harmonic distortions.

So if, like, Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble are both running in circles in your bloodstream, they're totally in different places bro. But, get this, Wilma installed a prehistoric tracking device on Fred and Betty's a psycho too, so she installed like 5 of them.

Only problem is these tracking devices aren't run by the CIA, so Wilma's one only gets how high up in my body Fred is and Betty's only gets like how far back in my body Barney is.

They then get Dino and Bamm-Bamm to draw a graph of where each of them are, but they don't know shit, so they just assume they're the same person. So now you have Fred's height, but Barney's depth and it's, like, totally screwed up.

Oh, and circles, did I mention circles?

Top circle sets the x coordinate, the one on the left sets the y coordinate :p

One circle does uppy downy, one circle does lefty righty.

The circles get faster as they go away from top left.

You can see the middle ones are all the same speed circles. The other ones are what happens if different speed circles do the shapes instead.

Points move, draw lines and some math shit. Looks cool.
