This is how I imagine databases search for a query. Scanning data on multidimensional locations

float C=0, W=720;
float S=.25; //speed
void setup() {
  size(720, 720, P3D);
}
void draw() {
  clear();
  C+=S;
  translate(W/2,W/2);
  for (float i=120; i<360; i+=S) {
    float d=noise(i-C)*PI;
    fill(map(sin(d), -1, 1, 255, 128), 10);
    push();
    translate(cos(d)*2*i, sin(d*2)*i, 480);
    box(W/2.4, W/2.4, W/2.4);
    pop();
  }
  // Saves each frame as frame000001.png, frame000002.png, etc.
  //saveFrame("frame######.png");
