Simulation of a diffusion limited aggregation process, ``nutrient'' concentration is displayed in blue (light colours indicate a depletion of nutrients)

Simulated growth and body plan of a branching sponge. The simulated regulatory network produces light blue spots indicating relatively high concentrations of Iroquois marking the future positions of the exhalant pores in the sponge
