I created a cloud of points with Points from Volume SOP on a built-in shader ball.
A mysterious web-like pattern emerges when I zoom in:
What's that? I thought Points from Volume SOP should put the points evenly (with "Grid" configuration)? Or is it some kind of Moiré pattern?
Point cloud: Where does this web-like pattern come from?

It's a Moiree effect. I dipped my toe into a rabbit whole and it seems material scientists can exploit these patterns to detect faults in materials when under stress. Lot's of maths involved. Traditionally of course it's been a way to make colors with offset printing. Look up lattice moiree effects.
