From what I unserstand RBF with 2 cells is not TC, so you should use 4 cells for the translation --ChuckEsoteric08 (talk) 13:54, 11 October 2026 (UTC)

Oh, you are absolutely right. I misread the conclusion of that section when I went back to reference it. It mentions that it validates that a 2 counter Minsky Machine is Turing complete, but uses 4 cells itself for the simulation, which makes sense. I'll update the description of the proof sketch now, and then iron out the implementation of the 4-stride swimmers to add into the computational class section. --ImOnlyHereForReversibleComputing (talk) 14:07, 11 October 2026 (UTC)
