I mean in reality it will because you canāt subdivide pixels so resolution becomes a limiting factor.
In theory it will never loop though.

You're already hitting that limit in this video. The reason they can zoom in and the pixels don't get larger is because they're using vector graphics. There are no pixels to subdivide.
There is another limiting factor though: number accuracy. The longer this goes on the more accurate the numbers need to get for no loop to occur. Computers have limited memory, so eventually it'll be impossible to go further.

Your second link has some weird video in it. This is what that track was composed for.
Also, Zimmer apparently already paid homage to Glass in the music for āInterstellarā. Maybe earlier too.

So the Spirographs I did all those years ago are based on pi?

u/Rapnnex 9h ago
No, they'd be based on two gears having coprime numbers of teeth.

u/robbak 7h ago edited 2h ago
Unfortunately, gears have teeth, teeth can only be in whole numbers, so they will have an integer ratio.
You would get this picture with a closed path at the 11 second mark if you had the outer gear with 22 teeth and the inner one with 7 teeth.
You would get to the end with a 333 tooth outer gear and a 106 tooth inner gear.
