 Dinamica EGO's transition engine relies on two complementary local cellular-automaton rules to select which cells change: Expander and Patcher. The first process is dedicated only to the expansion or contraction of existing patches of a class, and is called Expander. The second process forms brand-new patches through a seeding mechanism, and is called Patcher. Dinamica EGO's transition engine relies on two complementary local cellular-automaton rules to select which cells change: Expander and Patcher.

-Patcher searches for cells around a chosen location for a combined transition by first electing the core cell of the new patch, then selecting a specific number of cells around that core cell according to their transition probabilities.+Patcher searches for cells around a chosen location for a combined transition by first electing the core cell of the new patch, then selecting a specific number of cells around that core cell according to their transition probabilities, as depicted below:

 Patch isometry is a number varying from 0 to 2. Patches assume a more isometric form as this number increases. Patch isometry is a number varying from 0 to 2. Patches assume a more isometric form as this number increases.
