Directional Reaction-Diffusion on a Cactus

Directional Reaction-Diffusion on a cactus. The cactus shape is done using Cocoon from http://www.bespokegeometry.com/2015/07/22/cocoon/ 3 curves are used. A directional reaction diffusion is applied to the mesh. The script is based on http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/reaction-diffusion-on-triangular-mesh

    @Alex : surely it could be mushrooms. It also could be patterns on sand. 

    @Daniel : I wanted to recreate something like "reaction" from nervous. What I read said that diffusion was modified. So I modified Laplacian calculation depending on a direction. For each vertex of the mesh I calculate the difference between the value of concentration of this vertex from each of its neighbor. I do a multiplication on this difference depending on the angle between the edge and a vector placed on the vertex. If teta is the angle I do multiply :

    Math.Sqrt(Math.Sin(teta) * Math.Sin(teta) + _factor * _factor * Math.Cos(teta) * Math.Cos(teta)); 

    There is no change for teta = 90° and 270° and a multiplication of _factor for 0° and 180°. (if factor is 1 there is no change instead it is an ellipse).

    I then apply this modification (coeffs) uniquely on B species.

     dxB = dxB + coeffs[i_point, i_vv] * (B[_VV.Branch(i_point).ElementAt(i_vv)] - B[i_point]) / _VV.Branch(i_point).Count;

    So it is. Here I multiply by 5 and and put a diffusion B = 0.1. But if multiplied by 10, diffusion B = 0.05 ...

    I will post example on the forum.

    Medical mushrooms, often referred to as "magic mushrooms," have gained increasing attention for their potential health benefits. These fungi, available in various species like reishi, lion's mane, and chaga, contain bioactive compounds that may support immune function, reduce inflammation, and even aid in managing stress and anxiety. Websites like https://funguyz.co/magic-mushrooms/ provide valuable information on the medicinal properties and usage of these fungi. Research suggests that certain compounds found in medical mushrooms, such as polysaccharides and beta-glucans, possess antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, contributing to overall wellness. While more studies are needed to fully understand their therapeutic effects, the growing interest in medical mushrooms highlights their promising role in complementary and alternative medicine practices.
