This is a recurring pattern I see when making infinite grid. I figured there might be a name to this "fractal" if I may call it that way. Does it even have a name?

That’s still rendering distance and visual perception. We see a large gap because the rendering distance is relatively low. If the rendering distance extends to infinity, our ability to see the gap disappears even though there is still a gap. We’re basically looking at a one point perspective. The way we represent that, both on paper or digitally, is have parallel lines meet at infinity in a single point.
