Part 5 of Ralph Griswold's series on designing with L-Systems, covering termination. It distinguishes nonterminating L-Systems, which generate longer strings endlessly, from terminating ones, where generation ends in a string with no remaining variables. Short worked examples with numeric strings show how terminating L-Systems and added rules can serve as design tools, and how adding a variable rule makes a system nonterminating again.
