✦ Synopsis

Cellular automata (CA) do not find as wide a use in chemical complexity determined by a crystal structure as in homogeneous reacting systems. A reason for this is discussed, and a superposition of planigons and parallelogons or Wigner-Seitz tessellations is suggested that is derived from a crystallographic plane and is capable of representing chemical complexity at a single crystal face in terms of CA. The interplay between growth and form of two-dimensional negative crystals is discussed in these terms as a particular example.
