Imaginary Microcomputers
The idea of Imaginary Microcomputers is to design simple computers, comparable to vintage home computers, large numbers of which are simulated on a PC in parallel. The machines connect to each other with the goal of seeing efficient structures grow spontaneously, like crystals.
