      Ulam introduced a non-linear almost equicontinuous two-dimensional cellular automaton as a cell model of crystalline growth in 1962 [\textit{S. M. Ulam}, in: Essays cellular Automata 219--231 (1970; Zbl 0241.94048)]. Here it is shown that this model contains as a subsystem a linear chaotic elementary cellular automaton. The inverse process to ultradiscretization is studied on the system, and it is shown that the resulting partial differential equation preserves the self-organising properties of Ulam's cellular automaton.
