| « Morphogenesis: the archetypical forms resulting from apparently unrelated phenomena » |
|
Yves Couder |
| Recognizable forms emerge from growth in a large variety of physical or biological phenomena. The reason for which our brain is well adapted to seeing them is that they often resemble each other: they have archetypes. The common language recognizes this fact by comparing sand dunes to waves or dendritic crystals to trees. Using several examples I will show that phenomena of very different nature can have a common mathematical or topological structure resulting in the formation of similar patterns. |
