Reaction Diffusion Mutually - Catalytic Pinwheels

by Cornus Ammonis

A variant of Tim Hutton's Mutually-Catalytic Spots system, in which small spots (highlighted in red) follow the contours of large spots, creating "pinwheels". Small spots in the interior of large spots travel clockwise, while small spots on the exterior travel counter-clockwise.

by Tim Hutton

Two coupled Gray-Scott systems. The large spots can only replicate when full of small red spots. Likewise the red spots can only grow inside the large spots - outside of the large spots they die out. The large spots usually inherit their small spots when they replicate - those that don't will no longer replicate. In the starting pattern only the central spot is seeded with small spots. The other two spots don't replicate at all.

Da Vinci's Tree of Life - Brain

'Tree of Life' with knots by Leonardo Da Vinci in the Sala delle Asse in Milan.

Similar to arabesque art: "The very term arabesque is a rather diffuse one, sometimes used broadly to denote almost any style of geometric ornamentation prevalent in Islamic nations, but here I will take it as referring more specifically to stylised vegetal decoration ‘in which plants and leaves grow according to the laws of geometry rather than nature,’ forming ‘interlaced straps, zizags, spirals, scrolls and knots’ which tend to fall into complicated polygonal shapes, in turn forming separate frames for other patterns inside them. Use of this type of decoration, which apparently originated in 10th-Century Baghdad, became widespread throughout the Islamic world in the following centuries." - www.spamula.net

Related to Knot theory: “In topology, knot theory is the study of mathematical knots. While inspired by knots which appear in daily life in shoelaces and rope, a mathematician's knot differs in that the ends are joined together so that it cannot be undone.” - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knot_theory

But probably an homage to the astonishing Albrecht Dürer, a German painter, mathematician, and theorist who was a friend of Leonardo.

Though it might also have been a subliminal expression of the knots, wires and connections in his brain ; p

Akasha

This dancer comes close to how it feels when I'm imaging the motion of particles in my mind : )

On a funky sided note 'Akasha Tattva' is the 0val particle that is the Aether:

"Akasha (or Akash, Ākāśa, आकाश) is the Sanskrit word meaning "aether" in both its elemental and metaphysical senses.

Akasha is space in the Jain conception of the cosmos. It falls into the Ajiva category, divided into two parts: Loakasa (the part occupied by the material world) and Aloakasa (the space beyond it which is absolutely void and empty). In Loakasa the universe forms only a part. Akasha is that which gives space and makes room for the existence of all extended substances." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akasha

Akasha - Spirit - black or indigo vesica piscis or egg.

The mathematical ratio of the height of the vesica piscis to the width across its center is the square root of 3
