Abstract
We study planar curves defined by finite Fourier series of the form , where the frequencies are the prime numbers and denotes the exponent of the prime in the factorization of . We establish several rigorous obstructions to uniform geometric regularity as . In particular, we prove that the curve lengths grow without bound, that neither the first nor the second derivatives remain uniformly bounded, and that the diameters grow at least on the order of . As a consequence, the covering numbers of the curves satisfy explicit quantitative lower bounds. These results provide a rigorous explanation for the complex geometric behavior observed in numerical investigations of this model.
