A continuous automaton can be described as a cellular automaton whereby the valid states a cell can take are not discrete, but continuous, for example, [0,1]. Such automata can be used to model certain physical reactions more closely, such as diffusion. One such diffusion model could conceivably consist of a transition function based on the average values of the neighbourhood of the cell.
