Boltzmann brainfuck

occam's razor states that the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. what if, instead of a pointer being controlled by a line of complex instructions going down an infinite line of cells, its just one pointer hallucinating getting instructions and changing cells?

so, boltzmann brainfuck will only have one command:

h - hallucinate

this will hallucinate a "brainfuck" situation for the singular pointer.

why this language has no input or output

this language has no input or output because a hallucinating pointer in the middle of an empty universe cannot take any input and will only release meaningless output onto a nonexistant STDOUT, and the output just creates ripples onto an empty universe where there are not atoms to be moved for the ripples to spread, as such there is only a hallucintation and a corresponding action which will have zero permanent effect.
