Amorphous Growing of 2 and 3 Dimensional Shapes

The Problem: How can biological cells grow to form complicated shapes? In our approach to this question, we model cells as simple immobile computing units with the ability to replicate and pass messages. Motivation: A primary goal of this project is to better understand how biological cells grow into complex structures. This work will also provide insight into a new computing paradigm, namely Amorphous Computing (see in another abstract). The most interesting attributes cell growth that we are trying to model include:
