Also called Quantum Cellular Automaton Here is a presentation about the project.
- No floating points. Quantum is the name, so integers should be able to express the Universe!
- Space is a graph with each Node being connected to three and only three other nodes. This is since: "Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three."
- Each space node is located in 3D space using a
Point(X,Y,Z int64)for display purposes. - Time is ticking... As an unsigned integer of course.
- Space events are identified and are happening on a node at a time.
- Event outgrowth are developing through the graph of nodes.
- Install WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) with Ubuntu ( info from https://www.howtogeek.com/249966/how-to-install-and-use-the-linux-bash-shell-on-windows-10/ ):
- In PowerShell as Administrator run:
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux - Restart and in Microsoft Store add Ubuntu
- In PowerShell as Administrator run:
- Run bash and test you have the needed applications:
- sudo apt install jq
- sudo apt install git
- Download and install golang: https://golang.org/dl/ NOTE: By default it's installed under
C:\Gogood for this - Download and Install MinGW-W64: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/ IMPORTANT: Make sure to choose x86_64 architecture, and install under
C:\toolsit'll be easier.- Add the
mingw64/binfolder in the global PATH windows env variable.
- Add the
- Point: a location in integer cartesian space
- Node: is in a certain point connected to 3 other nodes
- DistTime: the unsigned int telling time
- Event: An ID at a node at a time
- EventOutgrowth: The collection of nodes affected by a certain event at a certain distance (Distance = Current Time - Event Tick Time)
Here is the OpenGL output for 4 events in pyramid shape after 26 steps:
