We show that several other results from the literature, already known to characterize surjective cellular automata in dimension d, hold precisely when the Garden-of-Eden theorem does. We focus in particular on the balancedness theorem, which has been proven by Bartholdi to fail on amenable groups, and we measure the amount of such failure. %G English %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-00966380/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-00966380/file/2336-8374-1-PB.pdf %L hal-00966380 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-00966380 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-AMU %~ IML %~ I2M %~ DMTCS %~ TDS-MACS
