Gray-Scott Stripes Pattern

Parallel stripe patterns emerge naturally from reaction-diffusion dynamics. These patterns are analogous to zebra stripes, fish patterns, and other striped patterns found throughout nature.

How It Works

Stripe formation occurs when:

• Initial perturbations align in one direction
• Chemical V forms alternating bands
• Diffusion maintains stripe separation
• F and K values favor linear patterns
