| 1-type high-density | Diffusiophoresis_Mesh | PDE_ParticleField_D | 1 | 14400 | 7/10 | 14400 particles → denser spots but lower entropy, no quality gain (Iter 62) |

| 3-type same-sign | Diffusiophoresis_Mesh | PDE_ParticleField_D | 3 | 9600 | 6/10 | same-sign → nested co-localization, less complex (Iters 16, 24) |

- Moderate coupling is a UNIVERSAL HARD stability limit: |M1| <= 10 and consumption <= 100 for FHN; |M1| <= 12 and consumption <= 120 for Brusselator hexagonal; |M1| <= 8 and consumption <= 80 for Brusselator labyrinthine (tighter limit). (Evidence: Iters 4,7,32,48,81,88)
- D1 >= 0.05 required: D1 < 0.05 causes numerical crash. (Evidence: Iters 1, 2)
- Mobility sign determines pattern type, not stability: Opposing-sign → segregation. Same-sign → co-localized. Across Brusselator, GS, FHN. (Evidence: Iters 3,8,10,14,23,46)
- Plateau=0 is universal: All models under continuous injection drive non-equilibrium dynamics. (88 iterations, 5 PDE models).
- 1-type sweet spot is |M1|=8, consumption=80, A=5.5/B=7.5 at 150x150: Robust across sigma [0.005, 0.008] and particle counts [9600, 14400]. (Iters 11,15,19,39,62,76)
- Cross-type adhesion enhances OPPOSING-SIGN morphology specifically: p[2,5]=0.3 sharpens boundaries. Negligible on same-sign. (Evidence: Iters 10,14,17,23,24,45,46,85)
- Opposing-sign 3-type beats same-sign 3-type: Opposing → 7-8/10; same-sign → 6/10. (Evidence: Iters 8/9/14/21/22/45/46 vs 16/24)
- Iter 14 is a TIME-LIMITED local optimum with CONSUMER-DOMINANT asymmetry: 30+ perturbations scored ≤7/10, and config BLOWS UP at 4000 frames (Iter 84). The chi=-16 regime is marginally unstable. (CONFIRMED DOWNGRADED: Iters 84, 81)
- A=5.5/B=7.5 produces more/smaller Turing spots: Key for 1-type and 2-type, not 3-type. (Evidence: Iters 19, 23, 39, 56)
- Chirality has NO sweet spot: 0.3+ suppresses patterns strongly. 0.1 is neutral. (Evidence: Iters 25, 27, 64, 75)
- Iter 23's hexagonal regime is 2-type specific: 3-type in same params → not superior. (Evidence: Iters 26, 29)
- Weber-Fechner suppresses hexagonal at ANY K>0: K=0.15 already forces radial/bullseye. NO useful regime. (Iters 18, 31, 80)
- Michaelis-Menten is a secondary lever: Km=0.2-0.5 near-neutral. (Evidence: Iters 22, 30)
- Gray-Scott is fundamentally radial-locked with particles. (Evidence: Iters 33,34,38,40)
- 150x150 mesh (22500 nodes) is OPTIMAL for 9600 particles: 200x200 degrades all configs. (Evidence: Iters 39,41,45,49,54,55,72)
- Non-Brusselator PDE models are radial-locked with particles: ALL alternatives (GS, FHN, Schnakenberg, GM) produce radial morphology. Only Brusselator achieves hexagonal multi-spot arrays. (Evidence: 12+ iterations across 4 non-Brusselator models)
- NLD delta=2.0 + high B/A ratio → labyrinthine Turing patterns: A=3.0/B=5.5 (B/A=1.83) + NLD delta=2.0 breaks hexagonal symmetry into labyrinthine/vermiform. A=2.0/B=5.0 (B/A=2.5) pushes further into fragmented vermiform. (NEW: Evidence: Iters 83, 85, 87)
- NLD delta=3.0 OVER-DAMPS hexagonal at A=5.5/B=7.5: Higher NLD weakens field contrast. delta=2.0 is optimal for hexagonal regime. (NEW: Evidence: Iter 86)
- NLD is INCOMPATIBLE with strong coupling (chi=-16): NLD delta=1.0+ at chi=-16/consumption=100 → blowup. NLD requires moderate coupling (chi=-8). (NEW: Evidence: Iters 81, 84)
- ALL 8 PDE_D particle features exhausted: W-F, M-M, chirality, durotaxis, pp_field_mod, DDM, alignment, sigma — only adhesion worked. (Evidence: 80 iterations, Blocks 1-10)
- Would ASYMMETRIC diffusion (D1 anisotropic) create stripe selection in Brusselator?
- Would durotaxis on MULTI-TYPE (2 or 3-type) create boundary-sensing effects? (1-type was neutral)
- Would NLD at LOWER delta (0.5-1.0) at A=3.0/B=5.5 still produce labyrinthine, or is delta=2.0 required?
- Is the labyrinthine regime (A=3.0/B=5.5 + NLD) more TIME-STABLE than the hexagonal regime (A=4.5/B=6.5)?
- Can 2-type opposing particles on the labyrinthine regime (A=3.0/B=5.5 + NLD) create core-shell vermiform filaments?
- Can 3-type on vermiform regime (A=2.0/B=5.0 + NLD) create novel tissue morphology?
- Would A=2.5/B=5.5 (B/A=2.2, intermediate) bridge labyrinthine and vermiform regimes?
- Would CROSS-DIFFUSION (chi parameter in mesh model, not mobility) + NLD create coupled multi-scale patterns?
- Can we find a TRULY TIME-STABLE 8/10 pattern using the labyrinthine regime at moderate coupling?
- D1=0.03/0.01 + high Da_c → crash (Iters 1, 2)
- 3-type with M1=-24, consumption=250 → all escape (Iter 4)
- 1-type with |M1|=16, consumption=180 → all escape (Iter 7)
- 3-type M1=-14, consumption=140 → NaN blow-up (Iter 32)
- Avoid D1 < 0.05, |M1| > 12 (Brusselator hex), |M1| > 8 (Brusselator labyrinthine), |M1| > 10 (FHN)
- Avoid Weber-Fechner K > 0, chirality >= 0.3
- Gray-Scott, Schnakenberg gamma=200, GM without stabilization → all fail or radial-locked
- 200x200 mesh at 9600 particles → dead end (Iters 49,54,55)
- pp_field_mod → neutral (Iters 61, 63)
- DDM → neutral on multi-type, harmful on 1-type (Iters 65-72)
- Velocity alignment → cosmetic (Iters 73-79). HURTS 2-type.
- NLD delta=1.0 + chi=-16 → blowup (Iter 81). NLD incompatible with strong coupling.
- Iter 14 at 4000 frames → blowup (Iter 84). chi=-16 regime is marginally unstable.
- NLD delta=3.0 at A=5.5/B=7.5 → over-damps fields (Iter 86, 6/10)
- chi=-10 + consumption=100 on labyrinthine → degrades coherence (Iter 88, 5/10)
- PDE_D.py features: W-F (p[2,4]), adhesion (p[2,5]), M-M (p[1,2]), durotaxis (p[1,3]), chirality (p[1,4]), pp_field_mod (p[2,6]), DDM (p[1,5]), alignment (p[2,7]) — all backward-compatible
- Cross-type adhesion p[2,5]=0.3 is the ONLY PDE_D feature that improved scores (7→8/10)
- ALL 8 PDE_D features tested: only adhesion worked
- Block 11 code change: NLD in Brusselator — D1(C1) = D1_base*(1+delta*(C1-A)^2/A^2). Enabled labyrinthine and vermiform patterns.
- Brusselator is the ONLY mesh model producing non-radial patterns; NLD extends it to labyrinthine/vermiform
- Next code lever for Block 12: Consider CUBIC autocatalysis modification, substrate inhibition, or time-delayed feedback in Brusselator to find new pattern regimes

Parameters: Brusselator + NLD, exploring labyrinthine+vermiform regime in depth mesh_model_name: Diffusiophoresis_Mesh (with NLD toggle via params_mesh[1][3]) Iterations: 89-96 (parallel, 4 slots per batch) Starting from: Iter 85 (3-type labyrinthine 7/10), Iter 87 (1-type vermiform 7/10), Iter 83 (1-type labyrinthine 7/10) Code modification: Consider substrate inhibition or saturation kinetics in Brusselator reaction terms
The labyrinthine (Iter 83/85, A=3.0/B=5.5) and vermiform (Iter 87, A=2.0/B=5.0) regimes are the most significant discoveries since Iter 14. They produce qualitatively NEW pattern types that no parameter tuning on standard Brusselator achieved. Key priorities:
- Can multi-type particles on labyrinthine/vermiform fields break the 8/10 ceiling?
- What B/A ratio and NLD delta give the richest patterns?
- Is a code modification (substrate inhibition/saturation) needed to get beyond 7/10 in these regimes?
- Test intermediate A values (A=2.5) to bridge labyrinthine and vermiform.
