In order to justify this account it is necessary to describe a chemical system for which the pattern develops accordingly. No actual chemical system will actually be described, nor even imaginary chemical reactions as described in Turing (1951). However a partial differential equation will be obtained which is thought to give a good approximation to the behaviour in certain kinds of chemical system. The differential equation has a number of parameters and it is necessary to find values for these parameters which will make the differential equation behave appropriately. The choice of the parameters is largely made on theoretical grounds, described in this paper, but in order to be sure that this differential equation really does describe a development such as that mentioned above, it is necessary to follow its behaviour by computation.
