One strip folded in half over and over, never crossing itself, tiling the plane into a shape that looks designed but is only folding.

Every edge sprouts a smaller spike on every pass, and the outline draws itself around until the snowflake closes on its own start.
Six trunks leave the centre at once and branch outward together, so the frame fills from the middle in a single symmetrical burst.
One continuous path that never lifts or crosses, yet the triangle-inside-a-triangle of Sierpinski appears as the line finishes.
A two line iterated map is run tens of thousands of times and the points pile up into a fractal cloud that never quite crosses its own path.
Sand settles along the still lines of a vibrating plate, and as the driving mode swings through zero the whole nodal figure inverts and reforms.
A chain of circles each turn on the rim of the one before, and the pen at the end of the chain traces the closed figure their speeds add up to.
Flow Field
15sEvery point in the frame is given a direction by a drifting noise field, and hundreds of short streamlines follow whatever direction they land on.
