[FRIAM] IS: Does Complexity have a circularity problem WAS: Any non-biological complex systems?

[gepr ⛧]

I agree with Steve that lamina is biased with the assumption of continuous flow. Discrete aggreagation like coral deposition or FACS based cell by cell deposition would not be evoked by the term lamina.

As an aside, although (serial) diffusion limited aggregation is often used to model coral deposition, (serial) DLA does submit to a partal order in a monotonic time parameter. The parallelism theorem from LTS tells us that the result of any parallel transition can be perfectly duplicated/simulated with a serial transition. But it still seems to me that parallel deposition (like in coral growth) might reach points in shape space not reachable by serial deposition.
