It already lets you encode a CA but you have to have something to drive transitions like a mouse click, apparently. This one makes me wonder if you could encode a Wang tile or another unidirectional CA into reflections+conditionals and get a true TM in CSS...
- thaumasiotes 7y ago> you have to have something to drive transitions like a mouse click, apparently Could you just position the mouse somewhere, never move it again, and let CSS flicker drive everything? It gives you a natural clock.
- gwern 7y agoWhat's 'CSS flicker'?
- sbierwagen 7y agoCSS can move or change the size of an element. You can also write CSS rules that fire when a mouse hovers over an element. You could write a page so that an element grows until it hits the mouse cursor, shrinks until it's not under the cursor again, then starts growing again... The element boundary will jitter under the cursor, with a frequency determined by animation speed.
