Wireworld - a computer implemented as a cellular automaton
- ajuc 15y agoWow. This reminds me of the trick they used in "Permutation City" by Greg Egan for infinite computation power. EDIT: shame there's no rule that allows to add copper cells from inside the automaton. It would make it possible to rewire the computer according to program.
