Competitive erosion models a random interface sustained in equilibrium by equal and opposite pressures on each side of the interface. Here we study the following one dimensional version. Begin with all sites of Z uncolored. A blue particle performs simple random walk from 0 until it reaches a nonzero red or uncolored site, and turns that site blue; then, a red particle performs simple random...
