Summary
In this chapter various CA models for random particle movement have been introduced. Movement of individual particles was assumed as basically independent. Accordingly, no cooperative effects, particularly spatial patterns, can be expected. Initial patterns are always destroyed due to the underlying diffusive particle behavior. In order to create patterns out of uniformity, particles have to interact with each other (e.g., DLA growth). In the following chapters various cellular interactions are analyzed in corresponding CA models.
