31. the field discretization is related to the time discretization. Note that in that reference the exponent (Formula presented) is also computed for two different discretizations, and in both cases a value very close to that of the microscopic models is recovered.

33. This exponent (Formula presented) is related to the conventional one, (Formula presented) say, of equilibrium critical phenomena through (Formula presented).
34. Like the one for (Formula presented), this definition of (Formula presented) does not conform to the conventional definition of equilibrium critical phenomena.
