It's fairly pretty to watch when it's not damaged by compression, but aside from the eye-candy effect, I wonder: is there anything mathematically interesting to say about a set of circles of linearly growing radii centered around points of a lattice?https://twitter.com/gro_tsen/status/1120692989846872064 …

@FogleBird had a thread about the patterns you get if you color the points of a square torus black or white according to whether the parity of the number of these disks covering it is even / odd. Here's my take at the timehttps://twitter.com/blockspins/status/1089452055050231809 …

These beautiful images are related to a famous number theory problem that goes back to Gauss: the question of counting the number of lattice points inside a circle of a given radius r. Let's start the thread
