Abstract:
We reply to Whitelam's Comment [Phys. Rev. E 108, 036105 (2023)2470-004510.1103/PhysRevE.108.036105] on our paper [Phys. Rev. E 100, 020103(R) (2019)2470-004510.1103/PhysRevE.100.020103] where we compute the exact large deviation (LD) statistics of a wide class of observables in the rule 54 cellular automaton. Using some heuristic arguments, Whitelam states that despite the fact that the LD functions we compute display singular behavior, this is not indicative of a LD phase transition or of dynamical phase coexistence. Here, we refute this observation and confirm that the (standard) interpretation of our exact results stands.
