Symmetrical texture repetition

Symmetrical texture repetition can be described as a distinct visual alteration which specifically manifests itself through rough textures such as grass, carpets, asphalt, tarmac, towels, rugs, gravel, general bracken, dense vegetation, fallen leaves, tree bark and more.

It can be described as the texture becoming mirrored repeatedly over its surface in an intricate and symmetrical fashion that is consistent across itself. This maintains the same level of detail no matter how closely one attempts to look at the distortion and tends to remain most prominent within one's peripheral vision.

During this state, if one stares at a fixed point the symmetrical texture repetition progressively increases and further tesselates into more complex forms. This immediately resets back to baseline as soon as one double takes.

These forms are often complemented by the simultaneous experience of pattern recognition enhancement, resulting in the appearance of a huge array of abstract forms, imagery and patterns embedded within and across the symmetry.
