* '''simulation''': yes, as above. "Simulate a forest fire (with tree growth, fires caused by lighnting, ...) sounds the best to be.
Any one name would probably do a disservice in describing/pigeonholing the task. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 02:50, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
:CA is actually the most accurate (there's a lot of mathematical BS written about CAs, but they're quite interesting in their own terms). In particular, this is actually a non-deterministic CA. It's also a simulation. We can categorize both ways; this is just categorization, not a class hierarchy! (Except it is an ''ontological'' hierarchy; that's a rather more sophisticated thing though, and objects can be instances of many classes in ontological terms.) –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 10:58, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
==task description==
Concerning the task's first rule (1):
* A burning cells turns into an empty cell.
... But how long does it burn? Everybody has assumed "one iteration" (or life).
<br>The same thing with rule (4), it appears that the tree fills the space (grows to maturity) in one iteration. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 20:39, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
:Don't worry about the physics of it. Just sub in lifeless letters. For rule 1 just think of it as saying "a B cell turns into an E cell" and for rule for think of it as "an E cell turns into a T cell with probability p". --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 15:18, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
:Usually, rules in cellular automata specify what happens at the next step, so it's safe to assume it's for just 1 iteration. --[[User:Silverweed|Silverweed]] ([[User talk:Silverweed|talk]]) 14:15, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
