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: + +- CA 1D Elementary - an introduction to cellular automata +- Life Turtle-Based - a cellular automaton implemented using turtles -CA 1D Elementary - an introduction to cellular automata -Life Turtle-Based - a cellular automaton implemented, like this one, using turtles Radical Polymerization - another model about polymers ## CREDITS AND REFERENCES
