I was immediately reminded of the anti-twist mechanism, perhaps unrelated but "reset rotation, twice/half" comes up there as well.

It's not related. The recent result states that you can pick any integer m > 1 and find a scaling factor λ for a given path such that after m repeats of that path you will return to the starting point (except for some infinitesimal number of paths that have a specific structure).
