Sonoma abstract screen saver location

Starting with macOS Monterey, Apple created an abstract screen saver based on the default background. Each is a piece of software, that generates in real time the screen saver picture and I was always found it fascinating to see. In Sonoma, there are 3 such stunning screen savers: Monterey, Ventura, Sonoma


I have just updated to Sonoma, (and was obviously blown away by the new screensavers, both the videos and the new abstract one.) and I couldn't find any abstract screen saver's location on my mac...


Before Sonoma I could find the paths for the Monterey and Ventura abstract screen savers, but now in Sonoma both paths aren't leading to them anymore.

The path for Monterey was /System/Library/Screen Savers/Monterey.saver (and you could be totally impressed by the 3D canyon model Apple created when previewing (with the space bar) the file /System/Library/Screen Savers/Monterey.saver/Contents/Resources/canyon.abc)

The path for Ventura abstract screen saver was /System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/PlugIns/Ventura.appex (and you could see the petals 3D model by previewing the file /System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/PlugIns/Ventura.appex/Contents/Resources/all.abc)


But now in Sonoma their location may have changed to somewhere else that I can't find, as well as the path to the new abstract Sonoma screen saver that I am curious to see its 3D model as well...

I couldn't find an answer anywhere in the web, and I would thank anyone that helps! Thanks! :)
