Gray-Scott Reaction-Diffusion

Self-organizing chemical patterns — Turing instability

Steps: 0
Gray-Scott model: Two chemicals U and V react: U + 2V → 3V (autocatalysis), V → P (decay). Feed rate F replenishes U; kill rate k removes V. Diffusion spreads chemicals — Turing (1952) showed this breaks homogeneity spontaneously. Different F/k values yield spots, stripes, worms, mazes, or chaos — each a stable attractor of the PDE.
