Experimenting with particle simulations in Blenders geometry nodes. This is a strange attractor, following the formula P += cos(P.zxy + T) - S * P, with P being the position of each particle, T being the time of the simulation in seconds, and S is a parameter that fluctuates randomly over time in the range of 0.05-0.2.

Here are a couple more still frames in higher resolution:

(this was rendered at 2 samples on an old Surface Go 2 tablet because Eevee can render particles too now)
