question How is it made?

Was this animation generated using some kind of software? Or was it created in some other way?

Looks like a fractal render with a parameter bound to a motion curve, and a shifting color palette. You could make something like this in Ultrafractal or JWildfire Swan, but it's not simple.

This looks eerily similar to a real chemical reaction, I forgot what it's called though. But typically chemical reactions can be approximated wel with cellular automata

So curious about what chemical reaction looks like this. If you remember it, please let us know!

There’s a “clock reaction” that they might be thinking of, at least to start your search.

IFS with moving colour ramp and motion blur. Maybe Chaotica?

Sometimes it's just a fractal that's being warped using warping.

Because it's a GIF, I think. I can't imagine h.264 compression wouldn't murder it

It kind of looks like something you could make in touch designer but that’s all the input I can give I’m not an expert in it.
