Yes, given that the relationship of cellular automata to the movement
behaviour is indirect. It also seems unlikely that they would
typically give suitable fields.
One might imagine that they would simulate the results of dark matter
shapes moving randomly on the landscape, rather than intelligent
swarming behaviour among normal matter objects.
