3.3.5 Absorption

Absorption is initiated by a primary L particle, and is implemented as follows:

1. If the primary L particle already has an absorbed link (i.e. it is strictly an L particle) then the reaction terminates.
2. A bernoulli random variable is evaluated with probability parameter absorptionProbability (the rate parameter for the reaction). If this evaluates as NO, the reaction terminates.

3. A random neighbor is chosen from the default neighborhood (neighborParticle). If this is not an S particle, the reaction terminates.

4. neighborParticle is replaced with a hole.
5. The primary L particle is marked as having an absorbed substrate--i.e. it changes to the L form. That completes the absorption reaction.
