"A slightly-less knowledgable society could be easily excused for imagining these to be some titanic artifacts of an advanced civilization. It sure looks a lot more artificial than a lot of the things that some people point to on Mars and elsewhere and claim as artifacts."

Check this out. The first thing that came to my mind was not "artifact" but rather "quantum" levels. Saturn is like a big atom with the rings representing an electron cloud. One typically sees order like this in atomic spectra and quantum energy level diagrams. There is so much deep structure embedded within the Laws of Physics. After seeing the Rings of Saturn, it doesn't require much imagination to believe that DNA and reasoning animals crawled out of the woodwork.

Self generating order is built into the system while the system itself is built on chaos. This is probably beyond human understanding but it's fun to think about.
