Claude given pens and paper draws a raytraced black hole accretion disk in gold and white

lvwerra gave Claude (Opus 5.5) pens and paper and asked it to make art for a contest. The model simulated a black hole, raytraced how rings of light bend, and produced a gold-and-white accretion disk drawing on black paper — 'every line a circle,' each a single circular orbit of gas, annotated with the deflection equation d²u/dφ²+u=3Mu². A pen-plotter photo shows the result; he's polling which model to try next.
