finally, last agents formed a cluster big enough to be considered as ''cleaned up''. they concentrated on the gap near the edge of the interior court. supposed reasons: -agents react sensibly to the input of the environmental rule from the south-west (bellow). -narrow and proper gaps between the site boundary and the boundary for the teaching and learning cluster.

the final pattern created is allowed to be transformed into that with the building bodies under the methodology for the interpretation. this methodology is analyzed with the references about the architectural interpretation of the cellular automata which is very similar to the patterns created by the agents.
