That's a neat approach! So basically something like this: https://editor.p5js.org/spyrja/sketches/eYt7H36Ka

This seems more like a random point on a spiral on the sphere. There was a thing on hn about spirals on a sphere few days ago.

Ah, good catch. I forgot to scale the point properly! How does the updated sketch look?

EDIT: Plotting it out as a point cloud seems to confirm your suspicion.
