We provide a perspective on how this framework could help to formalize the spectrum of patterning processes from instructed to self-organized development at multiple levels.

We propose a way to organize our current thinking about the algorithmic level along a set of architectures formalizing the computational capacity and amount of lateral coupling between cells

We propose that many current approaches are not competing ideas, but look at the same fundamental problem - egg to embryo - from different perspectives:

1️⃣ Normative theories & optimality formalize the computationa problem

2️⃣ Dynamical systems provide algorithms

3️⃣ GRNs & others model implementation

Congratulations!

Congratulations! Sounds super exciting!
