The model includes 6 parameters, representing morphospace dimensions: 
* Chamber scaling ratios defined in 3-dimensional space by 3 parameters: 
: '''kx''' - chamber width ratio, 
: '''ky''' - chamber height ratio, 
: '''kz''' - chamber depth ratio. 
* '''TF''' (translation factor) controls an overlap of successive chambers
* '''delta Fi'''  as a deviation angle (deflection angle) an angle between the local reference line and the line defining the centre of a new chamber.

If all chamber scaling ratios equal each other, i.e., kx = ky = kz, a new chamber is isometric to the previous one. Any differences in chamber scaling ratios cause allometric growth of successive chambers.
