stability and instability as well as symmetry at each morphogenetic stage. A more exacting representation is needed of diatom valve formation in morphogenesis concerning irreversibility of the process and indistinguishability of symmetry states and their associated valve formation stages.
If successive states of instability via symmetry states are found during diatom valve formation or morphogenesis more broadly, how does this impact diatom morphological complexity [2.107] over time? Additionally, what happens to morphological complexity over long time periods at stationarity? The expectation is that dynamical complexity is related to chaotic instability [2.22] and that increasing complexity occurs over time. Algorithmic information theory may be used to tie symmetry to complexity and to determine the role of instability over time, and in turn, gain an understanding of another facet of diatom morphogenesis.
