One-dimensional relativistic particle as a movable cellular automaton

Statistical Mechanics 2022-06-16 v1

Abstract

The one-dimensional dynamics of identical discrete elements that combine the properties of newtonian mechanical particles and cellular automata are investigated. It is shown that the motion of a cluster of combined discrete elements, which is the simplest observable object of the model, leads to the Feynman chessboard model whose continuous limit gives the Dirac equation.
