Catalog of Patterns at F=0.0620, k=0.0609

Most of these patterns of very similar alternatives are stable at many F,k combinations within the narrow strip I call "U-Skate World". For a detailed account of the fundamental properties of the Gray-Scott system at these parameters, read my paper.

For other great Gray-Scott pictures, and lots of movies, plus a general discussion of the model equations and more, go to the xmorphia main menu.

These patterns were discovered between 2009 March 22^nd and 2009 May 7^th.

More to Come

Because of the resemblance to Conway's Game of Life with its many stable patterns (both moving and stationary) I designed a reaction-diffusion version of the Hacker Emblem, using a U-skate instead of a glider:
