🧬 Cell Growth & Morphogen Gradient (2D)

A 2D cell-division simulator with a real diffusing morphogen gradient. Cells grow, split and read local morphogen concentration to pick one of three developmental fates — a French-flag-model positional-information system.

Watch cells divide on a 2D canvas while a real diffusing morphogen gradient spreads out from a fixed source. Each dividing cell reads the local concentration and picks one of three developmental fates by threshold — a French-flag-model positional-information system, distinct from self-patterning reaction-diffusion.
