Warning: LONG post follows. For the impatient, tl;dr-type readers, at the end of the post there is a link to a cool animation that visually captures the entirety of this post!

WRAPPING IT UP: COMPRESSING THE SPIRAL — VIDEO ANIMATION

For some cool eye-candy, here is an animation I created, which shows the entire process of "compressing the spiral", from 4 weeks all the way up to 4 years! Everything in this animation is generated by MATLAB code and is a result of numerical calculations. Nothing has been added after the fact. Kudos to MathWorks for creating such a powerful and efficient numerical analysis tool—always a pleasure to use.

Enjoy!

Thanks for that.

Relatively few people will click a link.  Thus, after what it took to scrunch this into an embeddable preview GIF under the forum image proxy’s size limit (finally!), I hope this does not offend the visual perfectionist I know you are:



The video is much better.  Direct link, for those who do not want to load Imgur’s Javascript web app:

Do you have any interest in sharing the source?  If not, I’ll STFU.  Unlike HoDLers who don’t mess with margin, I am too poor to have fancy proprietary software like MATLAB; but I am curious to read and understand how you generated that—maybe someday port it to another language, if I were to become obsessed with it.
