In April, 2001, Sandra Blakeslee wrote an article in the Science Times about the work of scientists at ICAM who are working at the mesoscale where the constituents of cells interact. In this work, microscopes damage, and computer modeling is inadequate or inappropriate, thus alternative ways are sought to model fundamental life processes. Thinking that “Anolatabulata” might prove to be a workable model if some of the implied complexity was delineated. I, loaded the simple dew-drop shape of the subdivision with extra information to show how shapes which looked similar were in fact morphologically distinct. Unfortunately, this first attempt became too visually complex to comprehend and needs a fresh approach with similar parameters.
