Chapter 25: Chiral Time

The rules we are considering all have the property time is slightly less simple than one might imagine.  In a CA, we think of time as an integer.  When time becomes the next integer, the new state is modified from the old state according to the rule; otherwise, nothing happens.  The sequence of states has a one to one correspondence with the integer time states that correspond to the sequence of temporal steps.  The idea of time with 2 distinct phases is due to Norman Margolus.  Our concept is a generalization of that idea.  We will illustrate how perfect CPT symmetry of the physics can be achieved in a RUCA with 6 phase time.  What will be explained in detail is exactly how the simplest possible T symmetry of the DM RUCA gives perfect CPT symmetry of the physics being modeled.  Always remember that if any RUCA can emulate physics, every RUCA can.  That means that 6 phase time is not necessary but we believe that it is economical.
