This looks a bit like a fractal, specifically it reminds me of the Sierpinski triangle, though the XOR texture doesn't seem to be a proper fractal with an associated dimension.
However, according to these replies here the XOR texture and the Sierpinski triangle/tetrahedron are indeed mathematically related: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1080223/what-do-bit... (Admittedly I don't understand the mathematics behind this connection)
