How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T12175089 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Target entity: Lissajous curve Context triple: [Lissajous orbit, isRelatedTo, Lissajous curve]
-
A.
Archimedes' spiral
Archimedes' spiral is a classical mathematical curve that winds outward from a fixed point at a constant rate as it revolves around that point.
-
B.
Bernoulli lemniscate
The Bernoulli lemniscate is a figure-eight–shaped algebraic curve that serves as a classic example in the study of complex analysis, elliptic functions, and special constants.
-
C.
Fermat's spiral
Fermat's spiral is a plane curve whose radius grows with the square root of the angle, often used to model naturally occurring spiral patterns such as those in sunflowers and other phyllotactic arrangements.
-
D.
Tusi couple
The Tusi couple is a geometric device from medieval Islamic astronomy that generates linear motion from the sum of two circular motions, later influencing Copernican models of planetary motion.
-
E.
Cornu spiral
The Cornu spiral is a graphical representation of Fresnel integrals that forms a characteristic S-shaped curve used to analyze diffraction and wave propagation in optics and engineering.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
