Analytical Equation

\mathbf{p}_{\text{web}}(a, t) = \mathbf{R}(\theta_a + w_a(t)) \begin{bmatrix} R_a(t) \\ 0.7 R_a(t) + y_0 \end{bmatrix}, \quad I_{\text{photo}}(t) = I_0 \left[ 1 + \beta \sin(\omega t + a) \right]

Compact Formula

web_arch = quadCurve(armTip_a, midPt, armTip_next), photophore = circle(tip, 3.5*(1 + 0.3*sin(4t + a)))

Renderer Logic

const curAngle = baseAngle + armWave;
const armR = (110 + 20 * Math.sin(t * 2 + a)) * squidScale;
const photophorePulse = 1 + 0.3 * Math.sin(t * 4 + a);
ctx.arc(tip.x, tip.y, 3.5 * photophorePulse * squidScale, 0, Math.PI * 2);
