Throughout this work, we found it really helpful to organize our thinking along 'Marr's three levels of analysis':
1. the computational problem
2. the algorithmic solution
3. biophysical implementation

Check out our review laying out this conceptual framework here: buff.ly/NE4JEOA
Marr's three levels for embryonic development: information, dynamical systems, gene networks
Developmental patterning comprises processes that range from purely instructed, where external signals specify cell fates, to fully self-organized, where spatial patterns emerge autonomously through…
