The lines in the grid look like gravitational distortions of space-time.
I'm wondering if the equations are similar to satellites and black holes.
especially those lines where they curve in, and then curve out again, near the
"empty" spaces.
Follow a line from the edge and picture a falling object getting pulled into
orbit around an initally closer gravity well, then getting grabbed by another
one and sucked into that...

You might want to hit up some people on the math forums - mathematica, etc.
Real whiz-kids on there...
