If it looks good... ?

Hard to explain the challenges even to people here, as most have not
tried this kind of thing. As simple a question as "Which way is up?" can
require an extremely elaborate answer. A tougher question is "What is a
curved line?". I created an original spline equation to get the desired
arc for the curved lines in this image. I have two sheets of paper
covered front and back with scribbles and notes regarding just that
equation.
