Since geometry is basically algebra and vice versa, if you draw some triangles and circles you are actually performing algebra and your paper is like it seems an analog computer for the algebra. Or maybe because all algebra is basically geometry with other notation maybe math is all geometry. I guess geometry is then the most basic thing.
In a sense every art piece is a algebraic calculation!?
Similar like an abacus is an analog computer for arithmetic.
And also like a planetarium is an analog computer for the planets.
Veritasium did a great video about it:
