Congruences of the form

display many regular patterns, as explained by theorems from Fermat and Euler, among others. The plot shows the values of

, the modulus

, and the exponent

Snapshot 1: little Fermat theorem

Snapshot 2: quadratic residues of 7

The initial settings are a particular demonstration of Euler's criterion.
