N nested circles rotate at prime angular frequencies — x and y driven by independent prime sets so the path never simply retraces. The endpoint traces a dense Lissajous knot over many rotations. Amplitude decays geometrically with each added circle, so the first circle dominates the large-scale shape while later circles add fine detail.
