A work on reticulated patterns

Abstract

A work on analyzing and modeling reticulated pattern is told through a personal point of view, showing its development trough many people inputs, including that of Yves Couder. The question of how to describe a reticulated pattern as Ficus religiosa leaf veins and make a physical model reproducing it, led to study cracks in colloids or clay, city streets plans, gorgon skeletons and variation in fern vein patterns.
