Golden curve

Elliptic curves are a mathematical functions used in cryptography for encryption and digital signatures.
Golden Curve

This is a visual representation of the elliptic curve y^3= x^3+2207*x^2+x over a finite field P=3571.

That formula (with different constants) is already used for real world encryption (Curve25519).

This creation uses a new set of two prime numbers 2207 and 3571. I chose them because their ratio is a good approximation of the golden ration.

TODO NOTE

Clarify what is the piece: the formula, the code to generate the painting, the canvas
I claim copyright on that formula with these constants (I know, silly ;)
