## HOW IT WORKS

The polymer is modeled using a cellular automaton approach involving only local interactions.
The polymer is modeled using an approach involving only local interactions.

Initially the monomers are colored alternating orange and blue. Blue monomers interact only with their two neighboring orange monomers, and vice versa.

In order for the model to operate correctly on a torus, the dimensions of the world must be even, so we put the world origin in the corner.

## RELATED MODELS
Although this model is not strictly a cellular automata because it uses both patches and turtles, it is similar to them:

- Life Turtle-Based - a cellular automaton implemented using turtles
