On certain morphisms of sequential dynamical systems

The author studies a class of discrete dynamical systems that consist of the following data: 1) a finite (labeled) graph \(Y\) with vertex set \(\{1,2,\dots, N\}\), where each vertex has a binary state, 2) a vertex labeled multi-set of functions \((F_{i,Y}: F^N_2\to F^N_2)_i\) and 3) a permutaiton \(\pi\in S_N\). The function \(F_{i,Y}\) updates the binary state of vertex \(i\) as a function of the vertex \(i\) and its \(Y\)-neighbors and leaves the states of all other vertices fixed. The permutation \(\pi\) represents a \(Y\)-vertex ordering according to which the functions \(F_{i,Y}\) are applied. By composing the functions \(F_{i,Y}\) in the order given by \(\pi\) the author obtains the sequential dynamical system (SDS). The main result of the paper states that locally bijective graph-morphisms (coverings) between dependency graphs of SDSs naturally induce SDS-morphisms.
