For some fun - this was published in May 2004, so almost exactly 20 years ago:

https://folk.universitetetioslo.no/michawe/research/publications/ngnm04.pdf

PDF Document · 70 KB

Surely there’s a fair amount of nonsense in there, but… section 4 isn’t too far from what we made, right?  :-)

Cheers,
Michael
