how it works

the code is set up like this:

----------------
code
----------------
matrix
----------------

and a matrix is made like this:

[x][x][x][x][x][x][x][x]
[x][x][x][x][x][x][x][x]
[x][x][x][x][x][x][x][x]
[x][x][x][x][x][x][x][x]
[x][x][x][x][x][x][x][x]
[x][x][x][x][x][x][x][x]
[x][x][x][x][x][x][x][x]
[x][x][x][x][x][x][x][x]

each cell([ ]) can hold a single symbol. this is the basic syntax:

[x]{y|

this states that if there is a cell containing x will then do code y. this is what y can be:

y

command	description
[x!	x does not exist. this means that all cells holding x will be deleted
[xy:z	x AND y is z. each cell thats holds x and has a neighbour y will replace that with a single cell holding z
¬[x]!	the only thing that exists is x. deletes every cell thats not x
x}	x exists. append x to the matrix

the matrix will always simplify like this:

[x][x][x][x][x][x][x][x]
[x][x][x][x][x][x][x][x]
[x][x][x][x][x][x][x][x]
[x][x][x][x][x][x][x]
[x][x][x][x][x][x][x][x]
[x][x][x][x][x][x][x][x]
[x][x][x][x][x][x][x][x]
[x][x][x][x][x][x][x][x]

becomes:

[x][x][x][x][x][x][x][x]
[x][x][x][x][x][x][x][x]
[x][x][x][x][x][x][x][x]
[x][x][x][x][x][x][x][x]
[x][x][x][x][x][x][x][x]
[x][x][x][x][x][x][x][x]
[x][x][x][x][x][x][x][x]
[x][x][x][x][x][x][x]

the code section loops until only one thing exists
