Can One Line Weave a 3D Star Crown?

BEHIND THE WORK

Can one line weave a 3D star crown?

One point makes five laps as t moves from 0 to 10π. The radius r(t) = 3.35 + 1.28 cos(5t) creates five rounded star-like lobes. The coordinates x(t) = r(t) cos(t) and y(t) = r(t) sin(t) turn the point around the center. The height z(t) = 0.78 sin(5t) + 0.92 sin(t/5) combines a fast ripple with a slow rise and fall, placing successive passes at different heights. One continuous line becomes a layered crown; the final rotation reveals its depth.

THE MATHEMATICAL RULE

r(t)=3.35+1.28cos(5t)r(t) = 3.35 + 1.28 cos(5t)x(t)=r(t)cos(t)x(t) = r(t) cos(t)y(t)=r(t)sin(t)y(t) = r(t) sin(t)z(t)=0.78sin(5t)+0.92sin(t/5)z(t) = 0.78 sin(5t) + 0.92 sin(t/5)0≤t≤10π0 ≤ t ≤ 10π
