Ah, the good ole' Chladni functions  :)

I've played around with these in both 2D and 3D.  I think it takes some time to
evaluate all the possibilities and choose the really good patterns that emerge.

The Chladni patterns remind me of the Zernicke polynomials that I investigated
when exploring lens distortions that cause and relieve astigmatism.

And then there are the spherical harmonics and the atomic oribitals.

Presumably there are a lot more related phenomena that could be pressed into
service for 2D patterns and 3D shapes.

It would be even nicer if there exists a way to interpolate between them.

I have an idea for interpolating between all of the 16 different Boolean
operations via Grey code numbers along the edges connecting the vertices of a
hypercube . . .

.... which may require time expansion, insomnia, and something stronger than
coffee and a gin & tomic.
