But does the model actually apply to biology?[edit]

Chaos theory[edit]

The introduction states "and is seen by some as the very beginning of chaos theory.[3]"

This is absolutely preposterous. Not only the beginning of the chaos theory are widely accepted to be from the end of XIXth century (mostly Henri Poincare's work), but there is Turing's paper has nothing to do with chaos. Turing has sufficiently changed the world. No need to had completely random field to his portfolio Nicolas Le Novère (talk) 16:33, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have Gribbin's book to hand. However, "Nonlinear Chemical Dynamics: Oscillations, Patterns, and Chaos" by Irving R. Epstein and Kenneth Showalter (J. Phys. Chem.1996,100,13132-13147) confirms that oscillating chemical reactions are chaotic, as well as setting up stationary "Turing patterns through spatiotemporal chaos" (page 8). So there is certainly some connection. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:02, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
