Abstract
We introduce a stochastic cellular automaton as a model for culture and border formation. The model can be conceptualized as a game where the expansion rate of cultures is quantified in terms of their area and perimeter in such a way that approximately round cultures get a competitive advantage. We first analyse the model with periodic boundary conditions, where we study how the model can end up in a fixed state, i.e. freezes. Then we implement the model on the European geography with mountains and rivers. We see how the model reproduces some qualitative features of European culture formation, namely that rivers and mountains are more frequently borders between cultures, mountainous regions tend to have higher cultural diversity and the central European plain has less clear cultural borders.
