As I understood it: The T2 tiles are "normal" microcomputers, that run a special software stack implementing the cellular automata. The tiles communicate over the connections, and essentially just act like a bigger automata grid. But the interesting part is that there is no global synchronization, and this architecture could be scaled indefinitely wide, by just adding more tiles. The impressive/hard part is creating the asynchronous automata, where each cell can only see a fixed amount of neighbors, and creating something from that. Edit: I think this video explained the general idea quite well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=helScS3coAE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=helScS3coAE
