What's happening: Chemical U (background) feeds into the system. Chemical V (the patterns) consumes U and reproduces. The balance between feed rate, kill rate, and diffusion speeds determines what patterns emerge.

This is real biology: Animal coat patterns (zebra stripes, leopard spots) form through reaction-diffusion. Alan Turing discovered this in 1952.
