- jgrahamc 14y agoYes. There are a number of reasons for doing the simulation (not least of which is checking that it will actually work), but one is that I want to make the simulation public. As a charity Plan 28 is set up to educate the public at large about Charles Babbage and the Analytical Engine while building it. That means publishing openly as much as we can. Study has been ongoing for a while now and first public results will be early in 2013.
