I'm thinking  about blurring the edges with  several  randomly translated
and averaged instances of the pattern to return a distance dependent value
instead of a boolean

I agree, I'd like some shore break tubes (with foam of course!) but I'm not
a maths freak and can't figure out what kind of function could give that

or more ridged_mf  everywhere...

I'll give it a try
