What you're seeing: This is a map of the Gray-Scott reaction-diffusion parameter space.
Each point (f, k) produces different behavior:
Green regions: The pattern dies out (extinction)
Yellow regions: The pattern fills everything uniformly
Blue regions: Turing patterns emerge (spots, stripes, mazes)!
Key insight: Patterns only exist at the BOUNDARY between extinction and uniform filling.
This is "edge of chaos" made visible - complexity emerges where order meets disorder.
