you've heard of sine and cosine

now get ready for uh squine and cosquare

@acegikmo very peculiar (though it took me a while to catch it because the color choice for the plots isn't too colorblind-friendly).

I'm trying to think if they satisfy an equation similar to that of sin/cos, but abs(s) + abs(c) = 1 doesn't work. Is it something like abs(s+c) + abs(s-c) = 1 maybe?

@oblomov this is one way to do it using trig at least! a distance norm friendly solution

@oblomov in my desmos I wanted to make it arc length parameterized though, which the normalization methods aren't

@acegikmo oh wow. I'm not sure I want to be exposed to the pentagonal trig functions now 8-D
