Moire' patterns are an interference pattern of many types as you can see on Wikipedia. Like wave-particle interactions some patterns are confusing and complex.

2 levels of interference are simple and 4 layers are a challenge like seeing a hypercube for most humans.
I sense they are a good jumping in point into visualizing some quantum effects like the mysterious quantum 'pilot wave'. Deep and fun stuff.

I have never automatically generated Moire' patterns in my minds eye.
But I can see them by will. I was introduced to them 50 years ago by the Scientific American Magazine.

Moire' patterns can also be used in cryptography.

So dizzy is normal :^/
