The pattern looks like the box filtering artefact, which is being
accentuated by the merge operation, similar to:

set cut_paste_input [stack 0]
version 6.3 v5
Constant {
 inputs 0
 channels rgb
 color 0.115
 name Constant1
 selected true
 xpos -81
 ypos -52
}
set N1e6835c0 [stack 0]
Transform {
 translate {-146 -150}
 rotate -0.6
 scale 0.333
 center {512 512}
 name Transform3
 selected true
 xpos -81
 ypos 37
}
push $N1e6835c0
Dot {
 name Dot6
 selected true
 xpos 63
 ypos -25
}
Merge2 {
 inputs 2
 operation difference
 name Difference
 selected true
 xpos 34
 ypos 52
}
Multiply {
 value 10000000
 name Multiply1
 selected true
 xpos 34
 ypos 78
}

If you switch the filter to impulse, the pretty pattern goes away (since
impulse is nearest-neighbour, or "no filtering")

>From the toolip on the Merge's operation, the expression is

A+B(1-a)/b, A+B if a+b<1

Not sure of the notation (what is A and what is a?), but the dividing by
b might explain this..?
