Twin-period recurrence conjecture for reversible elementary cellular automaton 115
Twin-period recurrence conjecture for reversible elementary cellular automaton 115
Let reversible elementary second-order cellular automaton 115 (RESOCA 115) have finite configurations with periods. Two periods and are called twins.
Twin-period recurrence conjecture. Assume that and are twin periods. Then the next twin pair is and , where
This conjecture proposes a recurrence for the experimentally observed twin periods of finite configurations of RESOCA 115; the source states that the authors do not know whether all periods are twins and presents the recurrence as a pattern suggested by experiments.
