    “I am a computer scientist, I can write elaborate grammars for processing data, I require only a mere computer.”

    King: (scratches chin)

    Later:

    “You! Move those line of rocks to the right and discard the remainder. You! Remove those line rocks except to put one where one was not there previously. You! Put down that rock! I said put it down! Please…!”

        I think it might be closer to Children of Ruin territory - I can imagine an animal trainer of some sort (or entomologist if one exists at the time) to train their animals to form logic gates and wires.

        I mean hell, if Game of Life can do it, why not ants.
