space.DblBuffer2d is one way to address the problem.  Decisions about
changes to an agent are all relative to the space as of a model step
that leads agent steps.  The actual changes are made to another
(yet-to-be-visible) lattice.  When the agents are done stepping,
this space moves to replace the lead-in space.
