@Danpiker@mathstodon.xyz This animation stopped me mid-scroll. Thanks for this. The lemniscate contours of Log(Z-1)-Log(2Z)+Log(Z+1) passing through three fixed points — that’s exactly the geometry at the heart of Erdős #114 (the EHP conjecture on maximal lemniscate arclength).
I just finished computationally verifying EHP (Erdos 114) for all degrees n=3 through 12, bridging the gap between the classical n=2 case and Tao’s asymptotic proof for large n.

Computational Verification of the Erdős–Herzog–Piranian Conjecture for Degrees 3 ≤ n ≤ 12
The Erdős–Herzog–Piranian (EHP) conjecture asserts that among all monic polynomials of degree n, the polynomial z^n – 1 uniquely maximizes the lemniscate length. Tao (2025) proved this for all sufficiently large n with a tower-exponential threshold. We computationally verify the conjecture for all n in {3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12} using dual independent implementations (Python/mpmath and Rust/inari) with IEEE 1788 interval arithmetic and certified branch-and-bound optimization. Both produce identica
