Very interesting, I found this article here. Everything seems to be clear, except for the very smallness (khe khe, the formula itself :( ). But the idea is that there are two chemicals A and B. A stimulates the production of both A and B, B spreads faster and suppresses A. If A dominates the region , then the color is black, otherwise white.Something like
this.The equation, sources and explanations are here: https://thatsmaths.com/2013/04/25/spots-and-stripes/
If anyone explains the formula, thanks too.In
general , as I understand it, they accidentally throw chemicals A and B and then a certain game of life begins, which ends with balance and such colorings as a tiger or a zebra (what exactly happens depends on different coefficients from the formula and the initial distribution of A and B)
