cellular automaton in physics

A cellular automaton in physics refers to a mathematical model that simulates complex, dynamic systems using a grid of cells. Each cell follows a set of rules based on its own state and the states of neighboring cells, updating their states over discrete time steps. It is used to study various physical phenomena, such as fluid dynamics, particle interactions, and pattern formation, providing insights into emergent behaviors and system behavior at a macroscopic level.
