Read it, re-read it, has potential, been there, done that. A design is
just a design. The real question is - will it work? You don't know that,
you can't prove it, because until it actually *is* working, you have
no proof. At this point it's nothing more than a self-consistent piece
of computational and logical poetry. Interesting, original, fun to read,
but utterly useless until it can actually be applied to *do* something.
