Reversible Cellular Automata

Reversible cellular automata are mathematical models used to simulate complex systems through simple rules. They consist of a grid of cells, each in a state (like "on" or "off"), which evolve over time based on the states of their neighboring cells. The key feature of reversible automata is that the process can be undone; given the current state, it's possible to determine the previous state. This concept helps in understanding information flow, computation, and even some physical processes, as it highlights the relationship between order and chaos in dynamic systems.
