Little is known about the dynamics of k-ary (binary, ternary, quaternary, quinary, etc.) reversible number-conserving cellular automata. Here, we present some preliminary results in the case of seven states. In particular, we examine one of the most complex seven-state reversible and number-conserving rules and provide a full description of its dynamics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
