Found this thread insightful. Curious what you think about cellular models with a more graphical basis for social/physical interaction. The cellular argument for herd immunity, for example, seems quite convincinghttps://www.meltingasphalt.com/interactive/going-critical/ …
It seems like there are plenty of empirical phenomena in nature that can be willingly compressed to a square grid—without much loss in what you're trying to communicate. Do you think principles learned from the reduced models generally *cannot* be mapped back onto the real world?
Herd immunity maps somewhat to binary, based on well understood and measured infection vectors. But the real model includes evolving germs in a living population with variable individual immunity. Simulations will still be entirely driven by the exact interactions modeled.
