That was *easy*. Moving the bits withing touching distance of the
ALU. Or moving the ALU within touching distance of the bits.

The result is the same in both cases. Hardware implementation
of cellular automata. 3d lattice of ALU/memory words. If
implemented in molecular circuitry, computronium. A molecular
crystal, measuring unit cells by the mole.

Do you have hard questions, too?
