The concept is easy. A simple L-system start to grown randomly from a seed, and after every generation it try to touch other L-systems, that are growing from different one seed.
[edit]
I forgot to explain some aspects. In this script singles L-system recive a feedback from others, because configuration of every generation depend on configuration of previous one.
Unlike my previous script there isn't only one final perfect configuration, but infinity ones... because every random event of system "A" affects other systems in next generation, thus itself in following one.
