Gray-Scott Spots Pattern

Self-organizing spot patterns emerge from the Gray-Scott reaction-diffusion system. These stable structures are similar to leopard spots and demonstrate Alan Turing's morphogenesis theory of pattern formation in nature.

How It Works

The Gray-Scott model simulates two chemicals U and V:

• Chemical U (prey) diffuses and feeds into the system
• Chemical V (predator) consumes U and dies off
• Purple spots show high concentration of V
• Click to seed new spots anywhere

This demonstrates how simple rules create complex, life-like patterns.
