in the area highlighted in yellow, i am having difficulties adding thickness to the gyroid in general

so that it looks like this 3d printed gyroid where it has base thickness and there are “reaction-diffusion” indentations on this base thickness.
Hello
I wonder why you bump along Z.
Here a way of doing. I reuse my Mesh Bump, it remaps height to 0 1 then to Min to Max. So if Min =-1 and max =-1.2 it means a bump in the other side
You can join all the meshes
Could be better with triremesh and some subdivision and also use of “1-value” for the opposite bump
Dendro could also be used but will suppress some details

And others changes, equation in Nautilus is much faster ! 0.5 s vs 28 s !!!
No need of quadremesh, triremesh is better for this kind of things.

Also possible to simplify the points generation
Edit 2 : isopod is surely a better way of doing now
but it is also possible to thicken using the components you used. The idea is to use 2 isosurfaces and use mesh iso splitting

this is extremely beautiful, not only did I learn a lot from the newly added components, but I also appreciate more how amazing computational design is from a mathematical point of view.
after a long session of chatGPT I managed to understand the logic behind the steps that you have done.
also, now i see the absurdity of using Z vector for extrusion, it messed everything up
