Metalmorphosis

So. Here's my first post. What you see above is an image generated through the use of mathematical algorithms controllinga pair of points tied together using a simple filled rectangle. The fill color changes gradually. The pair of points work their way around a virtual world
attracted to each other, but should they come too close, will be repelled away. They are also attracted/repelled in the same way by static (invisible) points in the virtual world. Give them time, an initial velocity, and the pattern appears. The laws of attraction/repulsion mimick the inverse square nature of natural laws governing magnetic and gravitational attraction.




Here's a 100% closeup view.







It's blue, cool, metallic and seems to morph. I'll call it
metalmorphosis.
