Abstract

The classification of discrete dynamical systems that are computationally complete has recently drawn attention in light of Wolfram's “Principle of Computational Equivalence”. We discuss a classification for cellular automata that is based on computably enumerable degrees. In this setting the full structure of the semilattice of the c.e. degrees is inherited by the cellular automata.
