7. Sandpile models are driven by adding a single energy grain to a randomly chosen site, when no active sites are present. In this manner, avalanches are instantaneous with respect to the driving time scale. Nonlocality is thus implicitly enforced in computer simulations, where the evolution of a single site depends on the state of the entire system.
