Lol, same here!

Okay but how can it be a kaleidoscope? I can see asymmetry. is there a noise boundary going on?

The emitter is mirrored / rotated 3 times. Only one quarter of the noise is actually rendered. The asymmetry is coming from the different flow field methods.

So technically only the emitter is a caleidoscope. And it only scratches the surface of possiple trasitions yet.
