| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I proposed polynomial-life model towards analysis of some phenomena in multicellular organisms. Polynomial-life is multicells that are expressed as multivariable-polynomials, in which a cell is expressed as a term of polynomial. Starting with a single term and following reductions by set of polynomials, I simulate development from a cell to a multicell. In this framework I present various patterns through the polynomial-life model and discuss patterns maintained through turnover. Cell elimination seems to play an important role in turnover, which may shed some light on cancer or regenerative medicine.
