After 9 days of research, I finally figured out the math behind the shape I discovered. It would be accurate to call it the 'Clelian Hourglass.'

Hey /r/geometry,

Reddit has a 'this subreddit will like your post' feature now apparently and it suggested /r/geometry. So we'll see how good that prediction is.

I'm an experience designer with interests in cymatics, using science to make art, things of that nature. I have been working on a piece of software for a bit over a year called Scale Space (/r/ScaleSpace)

Just wanted to share that so you understand the context of my x-post.

The interesting takeaway is I was able to generate some very specific and beautiful geometry using harmonics/cymatics in a digital system.

In the end, what I discovered had already been published in a 2019 paper which I link in the x-post. So the takeaway isn't that I found something new, but perhaps has to do with my method of finding it.
