Turing Patterns Article in Wired

Wanted to quickly capture for myself this very interesting article in Wired – something to explore later:  Turing Patterns.  This discusses the appearance of patterns in nature. From the article:

What matters isn’t their individual identity, but how they interact, with concentrations oscillating between high and low and spreading across an area. These simple units then suffice to produce very complex patterns.

Wanting to understand this better, from a quick Google search, found this article from a professor at the University of Salford, Dr. Graham McDonald, discussing relationship to Fractals.

Quick note about Alan Turing is I’ve seen they’ve said he took his own life, but his family suspected it was an accidental ingestion of cyanide. Still, reading his biography in Wikipedia, it seems there could have been the causes and conditions for suicide.
