Abstract
We propose a coupled map lattice that simulates the Gompertz tumour growth model used in cancer diagnosis and is able to reproduce the long-time parameter correlations that have been found in previous studies. The coupled map lattice is a modulated Game of Life cellular automaton model that includes only two free parameters. Parameter \(\gamma \) governs the strength of a global coupling of the cells due to the confinement pressure. Parameter \(\kappa \) governs the strength of the intercellular coupling which modulates the local dynamic rules of Conway’s Game of Life.
