Auxin Flux Canalisation is a an algorithmic process developed by Adam Runions at the University of Calgary Algoritmic Botany group to model the morphogenesis of leaf venation. The key to the process is a simulation of the distribution and flux of auxin -a plant hormone- whose distribution contributes to many aspects of cell growth, division and specialization. The transport of auxin through a plant coordinates response to external stimuli in a way that does not require a central command system. The beauty of the algorithm is -like flocking and other bottom-up algorithms- in the iteration of a very few simple steps.Nervous System have put together the most clear and concise description in explaining the generation of their beautiful Hyphae Lamp series. Go watch their video, it’s a great example of how an algorithm is the best representation of its own process. via codequotidien interazioneinnaturale:
