The pattern is a real-time simulation of two wave sources moving through a character grid. Every frame, each cell computes the sum of sinusoidal waves radiating from both sources.

Where the waves cancel out — amplitude near zero — the cell draws a directional character (— / | \) whose angle follows the local wave gradient. Where they reinforce, the cell is blank.

The sources drift in slow elliptical orbits. When you navigate, they converge toward your click point before the page transitions. The density, speed, and number of sources are all adjustable from Settings.
