Abstract

Branching patterns are fundamental to science their simulations in computer science and their modelling and abstraction in mathematics different phenomena are considered or classified as branching patterns including the tree of life crystals electric discharges the cellular differentiation of plants animals and other organic branches of life branching patterns of characteristics across individual organisms in species and branching patterns of characteristics and adaptive structures across species I seek to develop techniques for predicting the collapse of branching patterns in natural populations of organisms and also artificial populations and I seek to describe conditions for generating branching patterns in natural populations and artificial populations I also seek to rank forces of nature by their capacity to generate branching patterns and the relevance of constructing artificial populations to rank forces of nature by their capacity to generate branching patterns
