19. We use the general terminology cellular automata for the model described here by analogy with the lattice gas automaton approach used for the microscopic simulation of two-dimensional reaction-diffusion systems (ref. 6 above). The sequential updating in the present "automaton" makes the model equivalent to a lattice Monte-Carlo procedure.
