Nina del Ser - Mathematics 22 | octopus Conclusion The most important conclusions we have arrived at can be formulated as three points: 1. Given that the angular velocity of the primary rotor1, the highest common factor of all the other rotor speeds (there can be any number of rotors) defines the rotational symmetry of any Multipus curve. 2. The velocity vectors of the primary and secondary rotors of the Octopus define whether the curves generated will have loops (v s >v p ), spikes (v s v p ) or smooth lines (v s  http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Supprised_Octopus.png 126
