Fig. 8: The emergence of a striping Turing pattern.
From: Cellular plasticity model for self-organized phenotypes in multi-cellular robots
A, D display the initial factory quantities with consumption rates of 1.0 and 5.0, respectively. B, E display the factory quantity in each cell over time. C, F display the final factory distribution. A Turing pattern emerges when C is low (C), but when C is high, the pattern is suppressed (F). When the Turing pattern emerges, the total capacity of the cells is marginally greater (3%) than the single-cell scenario (F*). Parameter values: P∞ = 1.0, Plim = 1.5, D = 0.1, γF = 0.01, and γP = 100).
