ETA the patterns are similar to these:
A Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction, or BZ reaction, is one of a class of reactions that serve as a classical example of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, resulting in the establishment of a nonlinear chemical oscillator. The only common element in these oscillators is the inclusion of bromine and an acid. The reactions are important to theoretical chemistry in that they show that chemical reactions do not have to be dominated by equilibrium thermodynamic behavior. These reactions are far from equilibr...

Tiger bush, or brousse tigrée in the French language, is a patterned vegetation community and ground consisting of alternating bands of trees, shrubs, or grass separated by bare ground or low herb cover, that run roughly parallel to contour lines of equal elevation. The patterns occur on low slopes in arid and semi-arid regions, such as in Australia, Sahelian West Africa, and North America.
Due to the natural water harvesting capacity, many species in tiger bush usually occur only under a higher...
Did some work in an area where this occurs.
(Maybe: occured. No-Go Zone, nowadays.) Really beautiful stuff, the patterning. However, not really appreciable until you see it from above. Which goes to show: you need to change perspective to see - and maybe understand - the patterns in life.

it’s a very appropriate last name…
Nominative determinism is the hypothesis that people tend to gravitate towards areas of work that fit their names. The term was first used in the magazine New Scientist in 1994, after the magazine's humorous "Feedback" column noted several studies carried out by researchers with remarkably fitting surnames. These included a book on polar explorations by Daniel Snowman and an article on urology by researchers named Splatt and Weedon. These and other examples led to light-hearted speculation tha...

ALSO, you can see these patterns in analog video feedback, if the camera has an invert brightness effect. I imagine it’s a very similar process to that in the shadertoy.
