What if a star could be drawn… using nothing but rotating circles? Thanks to Fourier series, we can approximate (almost) any shape by summing circular motions called epicycles. Each circle rotates at its own frequency. Each one carries a precise amplitude. Each harmonic adds a new layer of detail. Together, they progressively reconstruct… a star. At first, with only a few circles, the shape looks soft. Rounded. Almost flower-like. But as we add more epicycles, the structure tightens. The arms st
