What Ripple settings are shown in the alternate distortion example?

In the alternate distortion experiment, the Ripple filter is applied with an Amount of 999% and a Size of Large. This turns the noisy cloud field into a strongly wavy, directional texture, demonstrating how a distortion filter can radically alter the visual character of the base noise field.

Conditions

Used as an optional distortion after the base pattern or noise field is created.
Applied to a grayscale Smart Object layer.

Reasoning, step by step

Open Filter > Distort > Ripple.
Set Amount to 999%.
Set Size to Large.
Confirm to see the cloud-noise image stretched into strong diagonal waves.

Example

The Ripple dialog shows Amount: 999 % and Size: Large. After OK, the cloud-noise image is stretched into strong diagonal waves.

Common misconceptions

Assuming the Ripple filter is part of the main Turing-pattern generation cycle; it is used in a separate alternate experiment.
Confusing the Ripple amount (999%) with the Unsharp Mask amount (200%).
