[edit] Paradigm
Shouldn't this be moved to Sandpile Paradigm? Since that's what BTW described the model as. Kae1is 20:16, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
- No. This is an article about the particular model presented. "Sandpile paradigm" doesn't say much in itself, it's just a mental visualisation. For example BTW originally visualised the model not as "sand" but as coupled torsion pendula. Both this and the "sandpile" metaphor are referred to in the original papers.
- The model has become known as the BTW sandpile model, and that's what needs to be written up. I suppose it might be worth making a more general "sandpile model" article to talk about some of the variants. —WebDrake 00:39, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
