| − | ... | + | 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. | ||
