Yea, I'm still researching this as well as getting a better feel for PicoLisp as well but making progress. > > Is it really necessary that it directly runs on bare metal?

Kinds of reminds me of hardware based Lisp machines. I figure that if you are going to make something like an AGI which might be graph based symbolic AI that you might as well try to make it have complete control of the hardware. Why not and see what is possilbe, perhaps, is my thought. > > Cool!
