Are all types of cellular life infected by it ?
However , it is still possible to distinguish among different reversible cellular automata by analyzing the effect of local perturbations on the behavior of the automaton : making a change to the initial state of a reversible cellular automaton may cause changes to later states to remain only within a bounded region , to propagate irregularly but unboundedly , or to spread quickly , and lists one - dimensional reversible cellular automaton rules exhibiting all three of these types of behavior .
