Five Cyclic HivaFlowPI A

In 1952 Alan Turing wrote a paper titled "The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis" in which he described a theory of how patterns, such as dots or stripes, can arise in homogeneous systems under certain conditions.

In this generative art work a compressible fluid is colored and stirred by a multi-scale Turing pattern. Forms arise from the Turing Instability, and are swept away by the mixing flow.

The space in which this occurs has a five fold cyclic symmetry and is inflating.
