they were studying it because it could outperform the best known algorithms. Nature is wild.

there was sth interesting in the news not long ago, about the study of some biological thing, a fungus? which grows very efficiently towards its goal (food...)

or yeah, if you want to skip a piece of code, then that is called proportional code, iirc

mirrorbird (23:47:53)
could be like a NOP

mirrorbird (23:47:48)
JR 1 then

mirrorbird (23:47:43)
hmm actually maybe JR 0 would be an infinite loop. that's like 'goto self'. again: don't know, never writ z80 except tiny copy routines n stuff

Agemixer (23:46:32)
Hmm, yeah the list of jump pointers is another approach for it

mirrorbird (23:46:16)
or better JR 0 (relative)

mirrorbird (23:46:05)
seems one possibility is an optional jump, you could 'poke' (arf) the same address if you just want to continue on.

he mentioned the term "branch and link", this seems to be -- something
