universality and reversibility in cellular automata

Universality in cellular automata refers to the property of being capable of simulating any other computational system. It means that any desired computation can be replicated within a cellular automaton, regardless of its complexity. Reversibility, on the other hand, implies that each state of the cellular automaton can be uniquely traced back to its previous state. It enables the recreation of a previous configuration or state based on the current one, making it possible to reverse the dynamics of the automaton.
