Expand description

How many turns of t a harmonograph trace runs — the length of the pendulums’ swing the figure records.

A trace that closes (decay = 0, whole frequencies) retraces its one figure this many times; a damped one spends them spiralling inward. Four is enough turns for a moderate decay to shrink the figure to a fraction of its first swing without leaving a samples-point walk too coarse to fit.
