This color-shifting lizard’s skin morphs just as Alan Turing predicted
At least, when you take John von Neumann’s math into account
There’s a particular type of lizard that changes the color of its spots as it ages — and researchers have just discovered the mathematical rules that govern this peculiar metamorphosis.

The video from the link in the OP should be viewed by everyone.
It’s excellent, the one flaw that I can see is that the black and white cow used in some illustrations has a colour system that doesn’t follow Turing’s law.

> with the right parameters, scale thickness and skin distance between scales, Turing’s model could create von Neumann’s cellular automaton — on a living creature’s skin.
Yes, that makes sense.
