The Mathematics of Light and Randomness: Introducing Starburst as a Visual Metaphor
Starburst patterns—radiating spikes of colored light—embody a profound fusion of mathematical symmetry and controlled randomness. At first glance, their dynamic symmetry appears chaotic, but beneath lies a structured dance of discrete rotational dynamics rooted in group theory. The cyclic group Z₈, a mathematical cornerstone, provides the scaffolding that shapes each spike’s angular position with precision…
