Preventing texture repetition is definitely one area you'll see techniques like this, e.g. via Wang tilings. Here is another example: https://iquilezles.org/articles/texturerepetition/

Fascinating article and code examples. Thanks for the link.

There are already techniques for removing the repeating textures(sometimes this is called texture bombing). Maybe this can be used to improve them, but only if it can be cheaply calculated on the fly.

My immediate thought was how soon do I see this in a board game. Hexs are often used to create the game board. This could add a lot of variability to board setup.

Similarly, I found myself wondering about applications in halftone patterns for printing.
