How to initialize a second class particle? (Q682241)

The model under consideration is a stochastic nearest neighbor interacting particle system \[ \omega=(\omega(t))_{t\geq 0}=((\omega_i(t)_{i\in \mathcal Z})_{t\geq 0}, \] where \(\omega_i(t)\) is interpreted as a number of particles of the first class, at site \(i\) of the lattice at time \(t\). The state space of the process is the set of configurations \(\Omega=\Upsilon^{\mathcal Z},\;\Upsilon=(\omega^{\min},\ldots,\omega^{\max})\subset \mathcal Z.\) The continuous time Markov dynamics on \(\Omega\) consists of right and left nearest neighbor jumps of particles on the lattice, with respective rates \(p\) and \(q\). The particles of the second class are identified via coupling of two configurations \(\omega,\eta\in \Omega\). The sign \(s_i\) of a particle \(i\) in the coupled pair \((\omega,\eta)\) is given by \(s_i= \mathbf 1(\omega_i-\eta_i>0)- \mathbf 1(\omega_i-\eta_i<0)\) and the particles perform nearest neighbor jumps, simultaneously in \(\omega,\eta\), according to a specially constructed mechanism. The paper investigates the motion of the particles of the second class.
