This one's sort of like dice.

mod (floor(x)+floor(y), 2) somehow is NOT the same as even (floor(x)+floor(y))

IIRC, Bill Pokorny mentioned something about how floor isn't quite "right".

anyway, this is the last one for the night.

IICRC... Rings a bell.

With yuqk, I do remember changing the code which creates the 0-1 ramp 
wave - in official POV-Ray there is some hard coded magic which 
sometimes causes trouble if one hits the right (wrong) values.

There is too some hard code clamping of values coming from functions 
into the pattern mechanism that I removed. However, this bit, from your 
results, I would say you are already avoiding. (That you are limiting 
your function() values into the pattern mechanism to 0-1 or >0.0 ranges)

It moves.
There are colour spots popping everywhere.
It shakes.

This is very similar in concept to the Voronoi pattern, and indeed, if the
"annular rings" are fine enough, one gets the visual impression of Voronoi cells
filled with a concentric ring pattern.

I just did this for fun, to illustrate a practical pattern to use for ripples in
water, malachite, rhodochrosite, wood, "jawbreaker" candies, etc, and to
implement an example that makes use of splines, loops, pseudorandom numbers, and
a discrete set of "basis functions" that are evaluated "en-masse".

Enjoy the "bubbles".

(Speaking of which, this could be a fun one to apply iridescence to...)

I'd have to think about how to vary the "radius" of each seed point, and then
apply the true bubble intersection formula to get a nice foam cross-section.
Foam isosurface, anyone?

Triply Periodic Minimal Surface

left - open
right - closed
plane - pigment {function {TPMS}}

This one is called "SplitP"

v nice.  I bet it would be "lush" as a woven fabric/cloth.

There's a better one for that, I think - the "Honeycomb" that I found in a
paper.
Kinda looks like a "dog bone" wood patch that alternates in directions like a
checkerboard.

A lot of these are, incidentally, used for support-fill for 3D printing
applications - so Kenneth may have a very practical interest.

Since they can partition space into 2 parts acting as a membrane in between,
when they are given thickness and made of metal, they are being evaluated as
heat-transfer devices, very much like a car radiator works.
The key factor being the very high surface area able to be contained in a very
small space.

You shouldn't be.  You can copy-paste equations as well as I can.  :P
