The Turing Grid: A digitalised Turing tape computer

# The Turing Grid

Think of it as an infinite 3D spreadsheet where every cell can run code. (Edit: this is capped actually at +/- 2000 to stop really large numbers from happening).

Coordinates: Every cell lives at an (x, y, z) position in 3D space

Read/Write: Store text, JSON, or executable code in any cell

Execute: Run code (Python, Rust, Ruby, Node, Swift, Bash, AppleScript) directly in a cell

Daemons: Deploy a cell as a background daemon that runs forever on an interval

Pipelines: Chain multiple cells together — output of one feeds into the next

Labels: Bookmark cell positions with names for easy navigation

Links: Create connections between cells (like hyperlinks)

History: Every cell keeps its last 3 versions with undo support.

Edit: The code for this can be found on the GitHub link on my profile.
