Shouldn't this be moved to Sandpile Paradigm? Since that's what BTW described the model as.

No. This is an article about the particular model presented. "Sandpile paradigm" doesn't say much in itself, it's just a mental visualisation. For example BTW originally visualised the model not as "sand" but as coupled torsion pendula. Both this and the "sandpile" metaphor are referred to in the original papers.
The model has become known as the BTW sandpile model, and that's what needs to be written up. I suppose it might be worth making a more general "sandpile model" article to talk about some of the variants. â

I'm not sure you can say that because the sandpile isn't deterministic. Every time you run the game of life with the same initial setup, you get the same pattern developing even if that pattern is totally chaotic. Not the case here. â Preceding
