Why this is here
A14 called localized structures possibly “even more relevant to individuation than spatially periodic patterns” and made this review its first priority: a bounded pattern whose boundary is dynamically sustained and whose size can change while its organization persists, “a persistent dynamical individual without being a fixed collection of particles”. It bears on QUESTION-281 and CLAIM-157.
