Why do I get the overwhelming feeling that the author is not a technical person and they had a LLM write this based on some handwavey ideas? There's virtually no _there_ there.

"...demonstrates its capabilities through worked examples" - The hell it does, your "examples" are three lines long. If you're going to compare it with LLMs, then have it do something LLM-ish. Or hell, the MNIST number recognition task would be better than the "hey look i modeled a flip-flop in my funny language" example.

Am I being harsh? Yes, I am. The author is claiming that they have a system that can automatically generate code for "quantum" and "spintronic" computers, yet offers zero proof of that.

Interesting. Reminds me of William Bricken’s work on boundary logic.

this seems like a nice rule compiler, but what makes it neuromorphic?
