Later You Will See Me

Later You Will See Me or LYWSM, is more of an art project then an esolang, was created by User:Yayimhere, initially thought up in 2025 but only completed in 2026. It is, basically, just an iterative process of a function, defined as a matrix in the program.

Memory

Memory is located on a grid. Each cell holds an integer. The program specifies a specific subset, with the programs rightmost corner being (0,0). the grid is tiled with the program. Every tile below the starting tile, with a distance of n(including the tile itself), will have each cell within decremented by n. And any above, is incremented. This also happens on the horizontal, with down swapped with right, when increasing or decreasing. There is also the current coordinate, initially (0,0).

Semantics

Every iteration of LYWSM consist of finding the value of the current cell, call it F. Then the coordinates are updated (x,y) -> (y,F). y is moved to the x spot, and F moves into the y spot. Then this process is repeated, in an infinite loop.

Syntax

LYWSM uses a very simple syntax, with each number separated by any number of spaces, counting as a single cell. Every cell must be aligned, using spaces to align them. There must be an equal amount of cells on each row(or equally, on each column). For example:

-1 3 45 8
 2 5 6  0

note that its specifically the digits must be aligned, not minus signs.
