What happens is that particles are moving randomly on the canvas. Every five seconds a new combination for the Chladni pattern parameters is generated. Then the moving particles are drawn towards the pattern's lines. After another timeout the particles are pushed away from the lines to move randomly again. And this goes on and on.
