| dc.description | The work presents two examples of simple mathematical formulas which are natural nonlinear modifications (one being a generalization) of Gielis' formula. These formulas involve a comparable number of parameters and provide non-Platonic representations of a vast diversity of natural shapes and patterns by incorporating diverse aspects of asymmetry and seeming disorder which are absent in the original Gielis' formula. It is also shown how diverse sequences resembling some natural-world pattern evolutions are also generated by such nonlinear formulas. | |
