Zusammenfassung	Bayesian Cellular Automata (BCA) couples the local-rule spatial dynamics of classical cellular automata with Bayesian inference to learn or calibrate transition probabilities from observed data. Rather than fixing rules by hand, the analyst encodes prior knowledge about how cells change state and updates those beliefs with empirical evidence, producing a posterior distribution over rule parameters that drives principled uncertainty-aware simulation.	Stochastic Cellular Automata (SCA) extend classical cellular automata by replacing deterministic transition rules with probabilistic ones, allowing each cell on a grid to change state according to a probability distribution conditioned on its neighborhood. This makes SCA a powerful tool for simulating real-world spatial processes where randomness, noise, and uncertainty govern local interactions — from epidemic spread and forest fires to traffic flow and material diffusion.
