Abstract

One of the characteristic features of growth in many animals is that babies look very similar to adults and dierent body parts grow to the rst approximation at the same rate This phenomena called proportionate growth is much less than studied in developmental biology than the much harder problem: how does a single egg cell become a chicken I will discuss a cellular automaton model that shows proportionate growth This was originally introdued as a model of sandpiles
