  Nice paper, the last two figures remind me of Hierarchical Edge Bundles (2006) and the Sunflower Visual Metaphor (1999) which have similar goals.

  At least the paper is transparent it's a twist on Edwards cogwheel.

  I've encountered these in the wild, so interesting to see what's generating them.

  These are hard to read if you have no intuition about what these cog shapes look like even without overlapping. But, everyone get ellipses.

    Yeah it doesn't really work in either direction. If I look at a spot its hard to tell which blobs its a part of. If I look at a blob its hard to find all the spots it contains. (imagining of course them not all being labeled) n=4 is already pushing it for venn diagrams, you should probably just have a table above that point.
