In order to understand general behavior in morphospace, it is best to focus on a deterministic model based on non-random parameters. It seems clear that simulated shell morphology is very sensitive to changes of the deviation angle (DeltaFi, deflection angle) parameter. Therefore, discrete steps of ( )i from  to  have been chosen to test the response of morphotypes to different values of this parameter. Two other two parameters are set constant (i.e.  ;  ) for all simulated forms and for all time steps. The resulting variability of shell patterns reveals four areas (phases) of characteristic morphologies (see Fig. below after [[REFERENCES|Topa & Tyszka, 2005]] - fig. 12):
