Alan Turing’s work on the morphogenetic theory continued. He developed his theory of pattern formation out of instability into the realm of spherical objects, such as the Radiolaria, and also on the cylinder, as a model of plant stems. He set as a particular goal the explanation for the appearance of the Fibonacci numbers in the leaf patterns of plants — most noticeable in the close-packed spirals of sunflower heads and fir cones. In order to proof Turing’s hypothesis started the Turing’s Sunflower’s project, and they finally arrive at the conclusion: Mass sunflower experiment unlocks nature’s patterns Text source: turing.org.uk Image artist: Jin Wicked Image source: chuckledresignation
