There's no background information for this video, fascinating as it is.
I'm particularly intrigued by the nano-fly on the middle-left that appears to be constructing/changing the 'squares'.
edit: The 'surge' and 'pause' effect seems to coincide with the apparent activity. That looks suspicious, we really need to understand the context a lot more to make anything of this.
You can clearly see the fluid streaming happening on both sides of the main crystals. The blob on the left is caught in a niche as the current flows. It bobs back and forth with the fluid movement. Just to give you my frame of reference I've spent thousands of hours staring through a light microscope during the course of 40 years. I've watched these types of things for hours because they are familiar on one level but are oçcurring in a vastly different scale. These types of things are extremely common to see. Mucj of the crud is usually from improperly cleaned slides or cover slips. The amount of microdebris on EVERYTHING is fascinating. You think your house gets dusty, check it out under a scope.

Fluid dynamics cause currents and ebbs and flows in the sample between the microscope slide and coverslip. Nothing out of the ordinary here.
I get that, but the perceived movement of the 'builder' seems to only ever happen during a movement of the substrate.
Without full context it's impossible to really know what's going on in this video.
