MemoryWords

MemoryWords is a self-hosting programming language and computing system built on a single instruction: M[j] = M[i] (memory copy). From this one operation, the system bootstraps a spreadsheet, games, paint tools, drawing programs, fractals, and its own higher-level language called Words.

Model Card

Single instruction architecture: M[j] = M[i] (memory copy). Self-hosting — the system compiles its own higher-level language called Words. All computation reduces to memory-to-memory copy operations.
No external data. Programs written in Words or raw MW instructions.
Built spreadsheet, games, paint tools, drawing programs, fractals — all from one instruction. Self-hosting compiler operational.
Performance overhead from single-instruction encoding. Debugging requires understanding the MW abstraction layer.
