When brought together even more tightly, we see the general coring rule. The disks appear black where the number of overlapping rings is odd and white where even.
| Each Pan picture in this collection is based on a simple combination of disks. | |
| Start with a number of disks in a row. | |
| Next, progressively shrink the disks and the spacing. | |
| Finally, rotate each disk further about the first one. |
|
| If we bring the disks together closely enough, they will show white instead of black at their overlap. |
