Abstract

Failure to find homogeneous scalar unitary cellular automata (CA) in one dimension led to consideration of only ``approximately unitary'' CA---which motivated our recent proof of a No-go Lemma in one dimension. In this note we extend the one dimensional result to prove the absence of nontrivial homogeneous scalar unitary CA on Euclidean lattices in any dimension.
