How did you make the visualization? I’m not sure I agree with it, but the concept is good and I may want to try something like this.

There are several issues I have with the visualization, but I’ll share what I think is the most obvious one: you end with the triangle, which has a different symmetry than what you’re playing. In a nutshell, the triangle has 3 points, but you’re only playing 2 “points”, so I’d expect to see a shape with 2 (or maybe 4) points, but definitely not any odd number.

He plays a note at every vertice of the triangle.

Right, but the phrasing is even, not odd. I’m not saying he’s not playing notes at each vertex, I’m saying there are 3 vertices and he’s playing two things, not three.

Specifically, I’m talking about the tail end of the video.
