I appreciate this response. However the “cellular” is represented by the minimal computational data structure to simulate the gas. There is no automata. Ordinary physics, adhered to as closely as possible, and not phantasmagoric creation and annihilation rules, are used to calculate the next state.

The automation is cellular, discrete (binary) and is driven by a set of activation rules. If that's your ordinary physics we had very different physics books.
