Abstract

We show relations between new notions on cellular automata based on topological and measure-theoretical concepts: almost everywhere sensitivity to initial conditions for Besicovitch pseudo-distance, damage spreading (which measures the information (or damage) propagation) and the destruction of the initial configuration information. Through natural examples, we illustrate the links between these formal definitions and Wolfram's empirical classification.
