alife_turing — 2D `artificial-life` op

• Data kinds: image → image

• Call: fullseye.apply(img, "alife_turing", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

*The figure is the real output on a synthetic 128×128 input. Left: input, right: output (a non-image return value is shown as the value itself).*

Usage

Gierer-Meinhardt activator-inhibitor system (Turing morphogenesis).

A_t = Da*lap(A) + rho * A^2 / H - mu_a * A + rho0

H_t = Dh*lap(H) + rho * A^2 - mu_h * H

Short-range self-activation (A) plus long-range lateral inhibition (H) is the

classical Turing mechanism for spot/stripe morphogenesis. The image seeds the

activator; the inhibitor starts at its homogeneous level. `a` sets the

inhibitor range Dh = 0.15 + 1.05a (with Da fixed at 0.02, so a controls the

diffusion-ratio that decides the pattern wavelength); `b` sets the number of

steps T = 5 + int(25b). Returns the normalised activator field.
