La forma en los seres vivos se origina en las dimensiones temporales de la ontogenia y la filogenia, utilizando estrategias de tipo deterministico y regulativo. En la ontogenia de los animales, la forma se expresa inicialmente en las celulas, las que funcionan como unidades morfogeneticas primordiales o ladrillos generadores de forma, y a partir de ellas se transmite a niveles de organizacion biologica mas complejos tales como tejidos y organos, para finalmente moldear al organismo completo. El proceso generador de forma no solo depende de la accion de genes y de su interaccion con el medio ambiente, sino que ademas se rige por los principios generales de la fisica y las matematicas, una idea inspirada en el legado de Sir D’Arcy Wentworth Thompson en su libro titulado On Growth and Form (1917)
