It is a system resulting from a mathematical theory of plant growth. It has generated urban models, graphic arts, and generative music. This type of system can be deterministic or stochastic; that is, it can have predetermined or random behavior. However, it is a system that operates within a hierarchical logic and has limitations when responding to external stimuli, making its application in architecture difficult.
