Quantum State Machine in Golang

What is QSM?

Also called Quantum Cellular Automaton Here is a presentation about the project.

Principles

• No floating points. Quantum is the name, so integers should be able to express the Universe!
• Space is a graph with each Node being connected to three and only three other nodes. This is since: "Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three."
• Each space node is located in 3D space using a Point(X,Y,Z int64) for display purposes.
• Time is ticking... As an unsigned integer of course.
• Space events are identified and are happening on a node at a time.
• Event outgrowth are developing through the graph of nodes.

Windows Installation

• Install WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) with Ubuntu ( info from https://www.howtogeek.com/249966/how-to-install-and-use-the-linux-bash-shell-on-windows-10/ ):
  • In PowerShell as Administrator run: Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux
  • Restart and in Microsoft Store add Ubuntu
• Run bash and test you have the needed applications:
  • sudo apt install jq
  • sudo apt install git
• Download and install golang: https://golang.org/dl/ NOTE: By default it's installed under C:\Go good for this
• Download and Install MinGW-W64: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/ IMPORTANT: Make sure to choose x86_64 architecture, and install under C:\tools it'll be easier.
  • Add the mingw64/bin folder in the global PATH windows env variable.

Type Definitions

• Point: a location in integer cartesian space
• Node: is in a certain point connected to 3 other nodes
• DistTime: the unsigned int telling time
• Event: An ID at a node at a time
• EventOutgrowth: The collection of nodes affected by a certain event at a certain distance (Distance = Current Time - Event Tick Time)

Demo

Here is the OpenGL output for 4 events in pyramid shape after 26 steps:
