Can Two Waves Weave a Leaf?

One point traces a leaf-shaped weave. y(t) = 4 cos(t) moves it from the top to the bottom and back. In x(t) = 1.65 sin²(t) sin(36t + π/4) + 0.4 sin²(t), the fast wave supplies 36 sideways oscillations, sin²(t) narrows the weave at both tips, and the final term bends its centerline slightly to one side. The phase offset separates the outgoing and returning strokes into crossing threads. Both coordinates use the same t, from 0 to 2π. This is a mathematical leaf-like pattern, not a simulation of biological growth.
