The visualization displays a circular sector that continuously expands and contracts, enclosing a perfectly tangent inscribed circle. An animated wedge traces the space between the circle and the sector's arc, using paths for the sector and wedge, and a circle element for the inner shape. The animation is driven by `d3.timer` with a `cubic-in-out` easing function over a 7.5-second loop, while `d3.svg.arc` computes the sector’s geometry. Custom geometry, via the `cornerTangents` function, calculates the tangent points needed to keep the circle precisely fitted, with all shapes rendered as styled SVG elements.
