⌖ Position

The Position concept is responsible for the spatial representation of the cellular agent.

Example: Point-Like Particle

The most widely-known example is that of representing cellular agents as point-like objects.

In this case, cells are described by a postion vector of $n$ (typically $n=2,3$) dimensions which we will call VectorN for simplicity.

If we implement these properties, we obtain

struct MyCell {
    pos: VectorN,
}

impl Position<VectorN> for MyCell {
    fn pos(&self) -> VectorN {
        self.pos.clone()
    }

    fn set_pos(&mut self, pos: &VectorN) {
        self.pos = pos.clone();
    }
}
