Deterministic Cellular Automata/Evidence
Method evidence record

Deterministic Cellular Automata

Deterministic Cellular Automata (DCA) is a simulation method that models the evolution of complex systems through a regular grid of cells, each holding a discrete state, updated synchronously at each time step according to a fixed, deterministic rule applied to the cell and its neighbors. The outcome is fully reproducible given the same initial conditions and rule set.
