Temporal order as the origin of spatial order in embryos

B. C. Goodwin

pp. 190-199

Embryological development takes place in four dimensions and requires the existence of time and space measuring processes within the embryo. It is suggested that space measurement (the establishment of embryological fields) results from periodic intracellular events which propagate at different rates from cell to cell in developing tissues. Some general consequences of this model are investigated.
