Alan Turing, who is considered as the father of computer science and artificial intelligence, hypothesized in 1952 that some repetitive natural patterns may be generated by the interaction of two particular substances via the 'reaction-diffusion' process.

As far as this system is considered, activator boosts the reaction and inhibitor prevents the reaction. When the two come in contact, the reaction is diffused.
When the variance in diffusion coefficient between the two gets to a specific level, the high diffusion ratio between them will result in system imbalance and activate the development of periodic complex patterns.
