Abstract

A motility mechanism based on a simple exclusion process, where the movement of discrete agents on a lattice is either unbiased (symmetric) or biased (asymmetric) is considered. Estimates of diffusivities from tracking data do not describe the population-level response of the system. This mismatch between the individual-level and population-level behaviour can be resolved by averaging the individual-level mechanism in terms of an expected site occupancy. New insight into simple exclusion processes is obtained by representing the system as a series of interacting subpopulations. This formalism leads to a system of nonlinear advection–diffusion equations which can be interpreted in terms of the agent fluxes. These interactions have consequences for both agent-based modelling and continuum modelling in cell biology, such as tracking subpopulations of cells within a total cell population.
