These simulations were created by Uri Lev as a final project for a course on Computational Physics.

Below are some figures of the initial lattice after occupation and the same lattice after culling. The occupation probability was chosen so that p > p_c. Different m parameters were chosen to reflect the possibilities. The two figures for each case are the initial (on the left) and last (on the right) frames of a short animation of the culling process, which appears below.
