What is Characterization of Simple Edge-firing Games about?

In a recent publication, Latapy and Magnien [Inform. Process. Lett. 83 (2002) 125-128] show how every distributive lattice can be represented as the set of configurations of a simple edge firing game (EFG). This is a converse of the result of Propp [Preprint, 1993] that shows that the set of configurations of an EFG forms a distributive lattice. Using this result and then the result of Latapy and Magnien gives an algorithm for converting an arbitrary EFG to a simple one with isomorphic state space. The purpose of this note is to provide a characterization of simple edge firing games. The characterization will emerge from a more general result which determines how often a particular vertex can be fired in such a game.
