In the real world, the answer to the question of where patterns come from is not so simple. While the processes of natural selection provide us with a mechanism by which patterns such as spots or stripes might be retained from one generation to the next, the question of how the patterns are programmed is something of a mystery. In this lecture, a series of ever more complex and spectacular chemical reactions will be used to show how very simple ideas in chemistry can lead directly to the idea of feedback, the crucial insight given by the mathematician Alan Turing, that provides a plausible mechanism that causes complex structures and patterns to emerge as if from nowhere. The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website. There are currently nearly 1,500 lectures free to access or download from the website. Website Twitter Facebook\n
