Pattern formation refers to the process by which ordered structures emerge in various natural systems. This phenomenon can be observed in a range of fields, including biology, physics, chemistry, and mathematics. The concept encompasses the mechanisms and principles that lead to the development of organized patterns from initially random states. In biological systems, pattern formation is prevalent in processes such as the development of animal coats (like spots or stripes), the arrangement of cells in tissues, and the morphogenesis of organisms.
