First pixels ever drawn from #Modal, a string rewriting system.

The only way to program this strange computer is by defining rules that replace lengths of text in a source file.

I had a fever dream about a computer that could only run one piece of software which was self modifying and the source had to be twisted in real time to do what you needed. The program was fixed length, and always had to stay that length, so you could only overwrite bytes.

I feel like you might make this real.
