---

These digital jellyfish naturally arise in the parameter space of a multiple-neighborhood reaction diffusion system. Every pixel in this image sums an activator signal in a disc and an inhibitor signal in a ring around itself. The activator and inhibitor signals are fed into a reaction-diffusion equation to calculate the change in activator and inhibitor at the pixel location.
