Describes a model that simulates embryo development and symmetry using lateral inhibition.
This paper describes the derivation of the simulated embryo via a NCA + LLM model with heads for differentiation, division, motility and shape. Lateral inhibition is then used to ensure that the embryo is symetrical.
