Automaton Laboratory 1.0

Visualize hierarchical planar curves, a superset of epicycloids and hypocycloids

This application is a laboratory for the creation of automata. An automaton is a system of circles moving relative to one another in a hierarchical fashion which create cruves which are a superset of epicycloids and hypocycloids.

This application is a laboratory for the creation of automata. An automaton is a system of circles (actually planar coordinate systems) moving relative to one another in a hierarchical fashion. That is, every circle in the system except one will be rolling along the circumference of one other circle at every moment in time. Automata are a superset of the mathematical curves called epicycloids and hypocycloids. Automata might also be called compound cycloids.
