Could be. In Langton's work (and also follow on work by Wuensche)
there is a parameter that moves the CA from point attractors, through
limit cycles to full blown chaos. In period doubling of say the
logistic map, the same happens as the parameter \lambda is varied. I
haven't heard anyone using the term to describe period doubling
before, though.
