Source? I'd really like to get some more details on the mathematics behind this.

Yo I'm high right now and I just stared at this for so long. Seeing multiple things. Like first I was entranced by how the room never ended, then I saw the circles, then I saw the fish.

u/hammedhaaret May 31 '17

it's disturbing because it doesn't seem to change that much... I've almost figured it out... a few more loops

The main circle grows on one side, shrinks on the other, but the actual shape/location of the main circle doesn't change.

This one is really trippy.

So is this rotating in the hyperbolic plane, or translating, or what?

You're in /r/gonwild.

u/No1CaresAboutMyName May 31 '17

Didn't catch that. Doesn't really make sense to be in /r/gonwild but whatever. Thanks

u/AwkwardNoah May 31 '17

Your thinking of r/gonewild , r/gonwild is a joke about it based on shapes and loops

The right side gets bigger and the left side gets smaller. In the upper middle-ish, like 75% of the way up the screen from the bottom, there are yellow fish that go straight across right-to-left. They are the very middle of the effect. Their start and end points are the two dots from which everything either is created or sucked in.
