* '''simulation''': yes, as above. "Simulate a forest fire (with tree growth, fires caused by lighnting, ...) sounds the best to be.
Any one name would probably do a disservice in describing/pigeonholing the task. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 02:50, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
:CA is actually the most accurate (there's a lot of mathematical BS written about CAs, but they're quite interesting in their own terms). In particular, this is actually a non-deterministic CA. It's also a simulation. We can categorize both ways; this is just categorization, not a class hierarchy! (Except it is an ''ontological'' hierarchy; that's a rather more sophisticated thing though, and objects can be instances of many classes in ontological terms.) –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 10:58, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
