My version of this is “Crucifixus Etiam” aka “The Sower Does Not Reap” with its inexplicably comforting finale.

Is three local maxima acceptable? https://www.geogebra.org/3d/tmr2t4zq http://tinyurl.com/husk7jpe z=2985984-((x-12sqrt(3)/2)^2+(y+6)^2)((x+12sqrt(3)/2)^2+(y+6)^2)(x^2+(y-12)^2)

Tweaked to have more sensible ranges: z=1-((x-sqrt(3)/2)^2+(y+0.5)^2)((x+sqrt(3)/2)^2+(y+0.5)^2)(x^2+(y-1)^2) https://www.geogebra.org/3d/sthks9ve

Simplified form: z = - x^6 - 3x^4y^2 - 3x^2y^4 - 6x^2y - y^6+2*y^3 (Much neater but obscures the fact that it’s just three paraboloids multiplied together.)

The perfect scientific interview. Great characters, and the experiment is explained in sufficient detail that we can see for ourselves how beautiful a result it is.

And the meaning of the character becomes more nuanced as you zoom in and more details appear.
As you descend further the layers of meaning evoke deeper connections in your brain until the complexity overcomes you and all you can do is resonate with emotion, tears streaming down.
