Probabilistic 2D cellular automata with memory lifetime increasing like $e^{L^2}$
Intuitively, I would expect a $e^{-L^2}$ scaling, since flipping from all-$0$ to all-$1$ means having a temporal domain wall in spacetime, which requires $O(L^2)$ local faults if every cluster of err …

Local rule for the product of two cellular automata
Assuming that my edits to your question indeed reflect your intent correctly, the answer seems simple (and, indeed, was basically already sketched by Ville Salo in a comment above).
First, let's assum …

Does Conway's game of life admit a notion of energy?
Conserved quantities like energy are characteristic of time-reversible dynamical systems. Conway's Game of Life is a dissipative, non-time-reversible system, and thus not likely to have any nontrivia …

Why do some linear cellular automata over $Z_{2}$ on the torus have small order?
Since nobody's posted a full answer yet, let me, for the record, provide my partial answer below. I originally started writing this draft confident that I had the answer, since I was quite familiar w …
