Great article! I didn't know about Rotation Minimizing Frames or the double reflection method.

I've run up against the issue of unexpected twisting of splines at work more than once.

They're also known as Frenet frames, or Bishop frames, if you're going to dig into them in the future.

Thanks for the tip.

I thought I recognized your handle! You wrote the "A Primer on Bézier Curves" article. Thanks for providing that amazing resource, it's been invaluable during my learning process.

Frenet frames are simply any orthonormal frame. A rotation-minimizing frame is a frame that has minimal twist from some previous frame.
