3.3 Reactions

The reactions are all initiated and directed by the execution of the step method on some particular primary particle or on a bond. Which reactions are considered is determined by the particle class. The production reaction can be initiated only by K particles; the bond decay reaction is initiated by the bond itself; all other reactions are initiated only by L particles.

Reactions typically occur in either the von Neumann or Moore neighborhood of a given primary particle. A user configurable parameter determines a single default neighborhood which applies to all such reactions.
