CLOUDCHAMBER MODEL

The Cloudchamber model is similar to the Foraging model, but in this model, the movement of the agents causes a change in the temperature (shown by the change

in color) of the cells below them, according to the following rules:

• An agent occupying a cell causes it to heat at a rate of alpha*current temperature.
• Every cell loses heat at a rate of beta*current temperature.
• The temperature in the cells diffuses to the other cells of the model (using the method of simple diffusion from an earlier model).
