Ah, mark was getting fancy on this one. No, I don't think there's any
'emergent behaviors' for this bot. It looks pretty simple and standard if
you ask me. Sure there aren't any bicores, but with a little tuning, you can
run a microcore so fast that you couldn't tell the difference between a
bicore bot and microcore. The thing that is kinda fascinating is, what about
SATURATION? GOt a PNC for that? Who knows, saturated state might be utilized
here even. Even so, you can build just as fancy bot with bicores.
