I'm going to guess that these are stable non-linear resonant modes of the visual system, as they tend to showcase a lot of signatures of cymatics (correspondence between shape and vibration, stress points where the connections are "thin", and an algebra of interactions between them) but you're free to think of them as an alien language. It's more fun than way.
Perhaps you can have your cake and eat it too: let your mind create an inner symbolic system that uses non-linear cymatics at a given level of the Hamiltonian in order to communicate with itself via a CDNS-embeded hyperlanguage of thought and feeling.

@algekalipso no coincidence they look like language! i'd say the evolution of writing systems converges on something like stable cymatics patterns such as these (but generally with a more particular texture/aesthetic that is also stable in its own way)
@algekalipso roman serifs as energy-minimising curves between fixation points (check out Optima, it has very nice splines reminiscent of catenary curves https://t.co/4v4Hi9kJDJ) https://t.co/QhbHgdjU6g
@algekalipso short answer maybe https://t.co/qrJgQpVFhO
@algekalipso also found a pretty nice chinese font sample which is getting into cymatics territory https://t.co/o8jmfj4Dvr
@algekalipso see also these stable diffusion generated artificial japanese characters https://t.co/gmQgSZsO5F
@algekalipso and on a hexagonal grid https://t.co/X2CqyUlMcq
@algekalipso Remind me a little bit of the "text" you see in old school diffusion generated images of computer screens and books. https://t.co/tq0DEuRsFU
