I wonder how many people realize that neural nets are a special case of cellular automata, and that by studying how to optimize their computation you can achieve a more general solution

neural nets are non-grid CA with locally-variable neighborhoods (edge weights)

CA evaluations can be made hyperefficient through adjacency matrix compositions

by leveraging the equivalence posited earlier, you can optimize model evaluation

training is still expensive tho
