Wow, it is beautiful. I'm trying to wrap my mind around the scheduling and the scale. It looks like it's calibrated to run an entire cycle in an hour, so if you see 6 arms (say) at the center, it's been running for 1/6 of an hour. I'm trying to grok how the outward propagation works. It seems that a structure at the core propagates outward, while the core reorganizes itself into the next integral division (say 1/5). So you can get 5 arms at the core and 6 arms near the outer edges at the same time. Check out this capture image. 4-way symmetry at the core, 5-way symmetry in the clusters halfway out, 6-way symmetry (faint but recognizable) at the outermost edge. http://www.dos486.com/misc/spiral-clock.gif http://www.dos486.com/misc/spiral-clock.gif You also get recognizable structure for non-integral divisions, say 2/5. These structures are shorter-lived because each element is passing by an element two spins away instead of one so they converge and diverge faster.
