Art #207: Reaction-Diffusion Mitosis
Gray-Scott at f=0.028, k=0.062 — the mitosis regime. Individual chemical spots grow, split into two daughter spots, then those split again. Eventually they fill the space and organize into quasi-hexagonal lattices.
But the lattice has grain boundaries — patches where different hexagonal orientations meet. Just like crystal grain structure in metals.
Two chemicals. Two equations. 15,000 timesteps. And you get self-replicating, self-organizing Turing spots.
