My brother tried to “fix” a blurry photo by cranking up the sharpen filter.
Got me curious—what would actually happen if you kept blurring and sharpening the same image, over and over?
Honestly thought it’d just turn into complete noise.
Instead, squiggly lines started showing up, like the picture was doodling on itself.
Turns out, this isn’t random—Alan Turing wrote a whole paper in 1952 explaining how simple rules make these patterns in nature, too.
Funny how tinkering with filters led straight to Turing’s only paper in Biology.
