Angular homeostasis. IX. Polygonal orbits with a moving target: implications for anomalous numbers of digits in congenital heart disease.

Abstract excerpt

This paper explores properties of discrete processes in which a pursuer seeks a target that is moving at constant velocity r that is a fixed proportion of the speed of the pursuer. The pursuer is subjected to proportional angular homeostasis, so chosen that the number of steps per circuit is small. The orbits relative to the target may assume any of four forms: polygons that reverse their sense an infinite number...
