The reborn SFPI! Our goal is to develop and identify forms of pseudointelligence and life within TPT in the forms of PSTN bots, computing systems, genome emulators, brain architecture simulations, and anything else we (or TPT AIs we find :D) can think of

  https://powdertoy.co.uk/Discussions/Thread/View.html?Thread=19943 This was a topic I wrote detailing specifically solid spark and how to make ARAY propagate at 60 Hz. I've posted multiple FILT computing saves, some of which detail the colour coding I use on each of my components. Analyzing those designs cann give a start in how FILT computations are done. Also, you can perform combinational logic by shooting BRAY through a line of FILT with different tmps and or ctypes.

  Indeed, that is the case as has been done for at least one and a half years since I and LBPHacker first pursued 60 Hz FILT computation. But indeed, it is quite a nice thing to discover. And yeah, only 30 bits per ctype, not 32, plus you need at least one of the most significant bits to be on if you want to encode the number "zero." Two must be used to effectively "retain" values after an XOR operation, hence only 28 usable bits.

  YAY! I figured out how to make the photon encoder reusable!
• 

  QuanTech 8th Jul 2016
  therefore, 1 pixel of filt can be used as a 29-bit logic gate!
• 

  QuanTech 8th Jul 2016
  for example, filt with tmp 1 is on AND mode: Photon Spectrum AND filt spectrum operation.

  wait, i just realized, since there are AND, XOR, OR... modes for filt, you can perform calculations without having to decode the photons everytime!

  i don't think you can do arithmetic with photons, they just have a higher data transfer rate..
• 

  QuanTech 8th Jul 2016
  yeah, the encoder that i am currently using is FILT-based.

  you might be able to compact it down, with all the advances in FILT tech and all that...

  QuanTech 8th Jul 2016
  naw, that is not compact enough
