Bedrock pattern seems roughly symmetric around world origin

The bug

When at the exact center of the world, the patterns formed by bedrock appear to have a sort of imperfect mirror symmetry to them, rather than the complete randomness that would be expected.

How to reproduce

  1. Teleport yourself to 0, -59, 0

  2. Use a fill command to clear out an air space: /fill ~-20 ~ ~-20 ~20 ~5 ~20 air

  3. Use a fill command to replace deepslate and other desired blocks with a lighter block to make bedrock stand out more: /fill ~-70 ~-1 ~-70 ~70 ~-1 ~70 white_concrete replace #deepslate_ore_replaceables

Expected results

The bedrock would just be random noise.

Actual results

There is definitely visible symmetry that can be seen in the shapes the bedrock forms, with occasional imperfections.

Can confirm as of 1.18 (rc2 inc.)

Just want to add that this is still the case on 1.19. Just dug down to bedrock in my survival world at 00, and I have perfectly mirrored bedrock generation in a 5×5 area (2 lines symmetry).
