For what it's worth, I thought "uniform" was a fine description - as you zoom out, the pattern looks more organised and less random. That is a property of uniform distributions.

Funnily enough this happened to me.
Earlier in my career I had a very intense, productive working day and then blundered a rebase command, deleting all my data.
Rewriting took only about 20 minutes.
However, like an idiot, I deleted it again, in the exact same way!
This time I had the muscle memory for which files to open and where to edit, and the whole diff took about 5 minutes to re-add.
On the way out to the car park it really made me pause to wonder what on earth I had been doing all day.
This is a beautiful example of functional thinking. The ability to see the attributes and and requirements of a system rather than the items themselves.
Harvard offer a free online course called “lab to market” which among other things teaches a systematic way of using this to help uncover startup opportunities. In short, you use functional thinking to match the functionality of nascent technology “seeds” to the functionality required by an identified market’s needs.
