what's interesting with this is that the drawing is a 2D description / recording of the secular rotation of specific disk radii.

I wonder if you used specific multiple joints and arms and disks you could have the end result be a face or some recognisable specific drawing.

in some ways this seems like you could store allot of data in a physically smaller space , it seems analogousness to fractal math with the arms acting as an execution / multiplier on the initial maths of the disks , though it gets to a point of repetition reasonably fast so maybe its just a magnification. Maybe fractals are simply a magnification and get to a point a of repetition its just the case that that point is so large we don't see it ( though the way I understand it fractals are infinite)

Most compression works on the type of concept you mention; trying to fine or make a rough formula to represent a string of data instead of the data itself.
