6 Biological Models<br />

Radiolarians<br />

A number of self-generated, biological models based on the bubble cluster theory exist.<br />

One of the best examples of this is the Radiolarian. Radiolarians are single-celled,<br />

marine organisms. These microscopic creatures extract silica from their environment<br />

to create a skeleton. Highly articulated geometric patterns define the usually spherically<br />

shaped structures. The resulting form resembles that of adome.<br />
