Please, join me on the next meetup about the new Model of Computation I have invented. We are doing a very active research on it right now. The concepts of #ActorModel, #ObjectCapabilities, #MembraneComputing, #FunctionalReactiveProgramming, #InteractionNets, #FiniteStateAutomaton were put at the foundation of the model to intentionally design a 3D #CellularAutomaton allowing TO WRITE CODE IN IT DIRECTLY, rather than playing with toy #gliders of Conway's #GameOfLife wich makes way too fragile #LogicGates and #TuringMachines making the latter completely impractical for conventional programming. My experimental lattice right now is hexagonal, but the intended design has #Cuboctahedron symmetry, perfectly matching #KissingNumber in #3D. The main objective is not just to achieve #Parallel #Computing and unbounded physical interface-free #Scalability (which already seems to be achievable in our model, it possibly can disrupt data centers and supercomputing industry in foreseeable future), but to create the #Catom —an elementary building block of #Claytronics. We are researching programmable #Locomotion, #DamageRecovery, and are going to build completely new classes of products with unexpected impacts of many consumer markets. https://lnkd.in/gCGiauk
