Nowadays morphogenesis becomes commonly used term not only in biology but in the field of evolutionary computations also. The aim to deciphering or design set of rules that will themselves self-organise to produce Form, attracts both theoretical biologists and computer scientists. However, biological generalisation of morphogenesis include such basic principles as "pattern-form interplay" and regulativity.
By regulation biologists mean the ability of developing organisms to regulate their pattern to their size. "Apparently it is one of the most striking properties of living organisms" (Cummings, 1994).
