Emergent Growth 01

Changing the topology does not imply emergent behavior, but I think without changing it, it could not be called that. Something is emerging when it is not predictable by the initial conditions. And even a system like a stochastic L-System, wich is very recursive, I would not consider it emergent, because although something random can not be predicted explicitly, it is within a deterministic probability field. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think in a system like yours the variety of results is determined by the irregularity of the original mesh and the parameters of the algorithm. I think it could be called emergent if, for example, your system obtains patterns repeated on the shape when grows, which were neither predicted nor predetermined by the algorithm.
But hey, I just intended to put the term "emergent" where I think it should be, regardless of your work. I look forward to the development.

Hi Daniel, Correct me if i am wrong

This one is only one Operator(one Iteration). The Topology is fixed within. The topology starts to change with each new Iteration by anemone for example(by subdivision or branching).I will post the developments soon.

If you keep the topology (as you post says), there can be nothing emerging there.
