A famous curve that was named by Galileo in 1599 is called a cycloid. A cycloid is the path traced out by a point on the circumference of a circle as the circle rolls (without slipping) along a straight line. A cycloid can be drawn by a pencil (chalk or marker) attached to a circular lid which is rolled along a ruler.

An automaton is a system of circles (actually planar coordinate systems) moving relative to one another in a hierarchical fashion. That is, every circle in the system except one will be rolling along the circumference of one other circle at every moment in time.
