Diffusion- and reaction-limited cluster aggregation revisited

Paper summary

Simulates irreversible particle aggregation with rotational diffusion and attractive or repulsive interactions. Aggregate structure and aggregation times depend on interaction conditions; repulsion can produce more compact structures.

Relevance to the project

A direct morphology null for branching baseline associations. Compare fractal structure and persistence across controls before interpreting organic-looking forms as adaptive organization.

Aggregation and self-assemblyEvaluation methods

Passive aggregation is not the same process as the baseline's imposed connectivity rule.
