TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a broader class of spatially distributed models called discrete event cell space models and compare the old and new formalisms as adequate and convenient vehicles for representing various natural and artificial systems, suggesting the potential of the discrete event approach for modeling at the level of fundamental physics.
Abstract: Cellular automata are a well-known class of models that characterize many of the essential properties of spatially distributed parallel systems. At a yet more fundamental level, Burks has employed the cellular automaton modeling formalism to formalize what is meant by “law of nature.” In this article, we introduce a broader class of spatially distributed models called discrete event cell space models. Comparing the old and new formalisms as adequate and convenient vehicles for representing various natural and artificial systems, we suggest the potential of the discrete event approach for modeling at the level of fundamental physics.
