It's just some warps (see the pov definition in the help) : 
before computing the texture, the coordinates of the 
point are somehow massaged. 

Usually, warps are used to repeat a texture, or add some noise.
But the facts are simple: at the entry of any warp, you have a
3D vector (coordinates); at the output, you have a 3D vector.
What happen to the 3D vector inside the warp code is up to the
code.
