Growth Cycle 
A growth cycle is the basic unit of SLEUTH
execution. It begins by setting each of the coefficients to a unique
value. Each of the growth rules are then applied. Finally, the resulting
growth rate is evaluated. If the growth rate exceeds or falls short
of the CRITICAL_HIGH or CRITICAL_LOW values, model self-modification
is applied. Self-modification will slightly alter the coefficient values
to simulate accelerated or depressed growth that is related with boom
and bust conditions in urban development.
