This one is entirely my creation. Have fun figuring out again what the heck it is.

The resolution is as good as it gets and there are no JPEG artifacts. Scale up if you like.

Continental plates! Lightning from space! Skull fissures! A neural firing pattern! Archaeological disease vector migrations! Erm....
Actually, I do believe I recognise that, but can't make the connection to name it.

Hehe, none of that. Small hint: it IS a kind of map.

Lucifer wins! No, really, it does have a deeper meaning.

It looks like you have multiple random pathways of a dark grey something like 0x202020 sort of thing all superimposing ending up in one white pathway.

would it make sense if i asked for an animation? kinda looks like something growing out of that one single white pixel.

Tank is getting closer.
I could animate the generation process, but the steps can be in any order and there are too many. It takes long enough without writing countless frames with the high-O method I used (didn't bother to find better algorithms).

I took a closer zoomed in look and there's a lot more detail in there than I thought. It looks like there could possibly be a link between distance and brightness, but it seems every segment is one color. Perhaps a random spread of points and then some sort of algorithm for joining the close ones in meandering paths, then some of them getting weighted or reinforced somehow...
Is this supposed to be a representation of something or just random awesomeness?

It's actually a representation of something. That something is semi-random though.
