Every line is generated by a simple multiplication rule. Tiny changes create completely different forms.

destination = (point × multiplier) mod totalPoints

How does this work?

Choose N points and a multiplier M. For each point i, draw a line to (i × M) mod N. Repeating this for every point creates the pattern. Animate runs M = 2, 3, 4 … up to your selected multiplier.
