Either Chaos to Calm or Calm to Chaos

This is nothing like my original idea, which was that the particles would be randomly moving around and as mouseX increased they would come together to form the shape of a folding chair. This is as far as I got, just the particle system. The noise field is made from fiddling around with the noise function in the velocity of the points. Noise fields are really great for experimenting with, because no matter what you put, it comes out looking sweet.
