Abstract
Cellular automata representations of biological cells are typically modelled as one automaton per cell and their interactions are between the nearest and maybe next nearest neighbours. This has several disadvantages, for example:
-
the cells have a fixed size and shape
-
the dynamics can be influenced by grid effects
-
all cells interact with a fixed number of neighbours
-
time and space are highly discretised.
