✦ Synopsis


The paper gives the construction of a universal CA with 22 states in the regular rectangular pentagonal grid of the hyperbolic plane. The CA implements a railway circuit which simulates a register machine and which improves a bit already known railway simulations of a Turing machine.

A reversible cellular automaton (RCA) is a cellular automaton (CA) whose global function is injective and every conΓΏguration has at most one predecessor. Margolus showed that there is a computation-universal two-dimensional 2-state RCA. But his RCA has a non-uniform neighbor, so Morita and Ueno prop

A configuration is said to be with finite support if the states of all but finitely many cells in the array are quiescent. The results are as follows.
