for waves, that is done with a 'phase shift', add 2*pi/4 radians (for a 90 deg shift) to your sin curve, could also be done using cos instead of sin for an inherent 90 deg shift

If all of the strips are similar to the one in your image, maybe try TT Toolbox's unroll component?

the algorithm is unstable and not optimal. Unlikely to be able to somehow use it or learn something on it)

Two things:
90 X 5 is wrong. There are 360 degrees in a circle so just use a constant (360), or 90 X 4.
Don't flatten the output of 'Flip' before 'IntCrv'.
"surfaces" ? Our teacher said to place the truncation according to this relation : Capture%20d%E2%80%99%C3%A9cran%202016-05-01%20%C3%A0%2008.03.46.png I already make the five platonic polyhedrons in Rhino.

closest point to the very first would be removed from the list, so the initial list reduces from 100 to 98. From the 98 i pick one and search the remaining 97 for the closest. From the remaining 96 i pick again one and search in the 95,...
(The product I want to result is:
having a number of random lines in 3D space, produced by an even number of points as discribed, this shall be the initial springs for a ("selfadjusting") tensegrity. Each one of these lines (later springs in kangaroo) get divided in three areas - that means four points. These four points again are the "attractor points" of neighbor springs, so the strut "knows" where to set the next elastic connection,...the rest I´ll have to figure out)
