Harmonograph

Two pendulums, two axes. As each swings and slowly decays, their combined motion traces a curve through the paper. The same Lissajous geometry that appears in oscilloscopes, standing waves, and orbital mechanics — drawn by gravity alone. Rational frequency ratios produce closed figures; irrational ratios never repeat.
