We propose a simple mathematical model for filamentous growth and development. The new model relates stereotype elemental (cellular) behavior to empirically observed overall growth curves. As examples we obtain the sigmoidal growth curves. Basic is the separation of subjective or physiological time of the organism from objective or absolute time and the relation between them. The underlying philosophy is related to Lindenmayer’s developmental model.
