#D Seed patterns with strong symmetry often have to struggle to survive.
#D This process is shown here where at numerous points in the
#D early development, growth almost comes to a halt.  When the
#D cycles of internal growth unsynchronize around generation 450
#D then the survival of the pattern becomes assured.  By generation
#D 3000 the still growing pattern at high zoom shows typical "healthy"
#D de-coupled internal growth zones.
