A number of interesting patterns can be created using the bitwise logic operators (AND (&) OR (|) and XOR (^)). I call these patterns "Logic Fractals", since they exhibit self similarity at different scales.

|
Plaid Bits | The basic pattern is the result of the underlying generator (X XOR Y), which is also used to generate a number of the images in the "logic fractals" group. |
 |
Polar Dartboard | This pattern creates a logic fractal based on the polar coordinates D and A. D is the distance from the center, and A is the angle, from 0 to 2*PI. In this case the angle is scaled to create a sweep from 0 to 255. |
 |
XOR Weave | The COND() function is used to alternate between two different gradient patterns. The condition used for screening is (X XOR Y) MOD 3. |
 |
XOR 12-24-48 |
 |
XOR Movie | This logic fractal animates over time, and makes an interesting movie. |
 |
XOR Zoom | A zoom sequence intended to demonstrate the self similar qualities of a logic fractal. |
