Abstract

The sequential nature of the process allowing the Immune System to learn how to withstand pathogen agents is explored by means of large-scale computer simulation of the Celada-Seiden immunological automaton. In accord with previous findings cite{PRL}, it is found that the learning process proceeds via a sequential cascade in affinity space.
