Toroidal space inherits from moving from differential
equations to explicit space models. The concept was that you are modeling an
area that is small compared to the overall environment. Therefore, all edges are
identical. At least in the case of ecological models, with a few exceptions like
modeling a single tree, this is probably the worst choice of edge interaction,
with absorbing or reflecting boundaries preferable depending on the system.

Hello,
I have a simple question some of you could probably answer: why in most of
the examples programmer have chosen to use a toroidal space as environment?
Which is the advantage?
Thanks and greetings
