Diffusion limited aggregation gone wrong. Half a million floating points projected on a texture that is then diffused multiple times to lower resolution textures. With the gradients from the blurred projection, small scale local maxima attract, and larger scale aggregations repel the other kinetic particles. The other channels in the diffused texture are not used, so consider this a seedling for more elaborate experiments.
