This is an ART project. This is just a view, it's not a solution to anything. However, you may find something in the shapes that are created. The shapes are generated by simple circular motions and straight lines. Complex things may actually be broken down into simple things. Just by watching the shapes being created, you may think of something. Or, time will pass without thinking about anything. Not everything in the world has to be for something. Just look for something that satisfies you. This is an application to just watch the shapes being created.
