Parametic Reutersvärd Illusion Generator

This OpenSCAD script generates variations of Oscar Reutersvärd's 1934 optical illusion, inspired by Artur Tchoukanov's model and Ulrich Schwanitz's picture. The news article lacked the illusion's construction math, necessitating re-derivation from basic geometry. The program showcases the illusion's mathematical principles, allowing customizable triangle sizes and complexities. Further research reveals Marcel Duchamp's influence on these figures through his impossible-figure photographs since 1950. A 2004 article explains Duchamp's techniques alongside Reutersvärd's illusion (http://www.toutfait.com/online_journal_details.php?postid=1375). In OpenSCAD, adjust N, S, and T parameters, but ensure proper toolpaths to avoid unprintable results. The N=2 version is desired for a desk part holder.
