概要	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.	A Markov Model represents a system as a finite set of states and specifies the probability of moving from one state to another at each time step. By capturing only the current state — not the full history — it enables tractable analysis of complex dynamic processes across health economics, engineering reliability, operations research, and social-science modeling.
