About this pattern
The starting curve is x = 16 sin³(t), y = 13 cos(t) − 5 cos(2t) − 2 cos(3t) − cos(4t), documented in Wolfram MathWorld’s Heart Curve. GART layers scaled copies with depth, twist and seeded ripples. The seed changes the number, spacing and direction of the folds. Ripple controls their strength; zero gives a quiet heart. Motion follows a seamless 12-second cycle, preserved in exports.
