59. Since the only factor impeding unbounded diffusive spreading of particles is their finite lifetime which, in its turn, is proportional to the inverse of the death rate 1/ β0, the average linear size of clusters has to be proportional to D/ β0, as can be numerically verified.

65. Strictly speaking, when employing the Doi-Peliti formalism the resulting field is not a density field, but its first moment coincide with the density.

72. The linear dependence in the ordered phase can be interpreted as a direct transfer of the "thermal" energy introduced by the noise to the kinetic energy of clusters.
73. Orientational ordering escapes the premises of the MWH theorem. Indeed, the local hexagonal ordering induces an effective long-range interaction not covered by the theorem hypotheses.
