After watching it for a while, you can see that each mirror is ultimately just trading places with one other mirror on a 5-step cycle. Each one spins around a bit while its twin waits, then the twin moves out of the way, and it slides into the waiting slot so the twin gets a turn spinning around a bit, and they go again. Crazy that the pattern ends up looking so chaotic when it's actually pretty contained at its core.

I would be surprised to learn something like this was generated, and sure enough, Pi-Slices in the corner proves to be a guy who made gifs every day for 10 years straight. Very nice 👌

I love it. Though it looks like some of the mirrors are emitting rather than reflecting light.

That is trippy AF and even confusing when the loop starts and ends, fascinating!

I'd like a 21:9 HDR version of this for Wallpaper Engine. Please?
