ACETI (algorithmic communication with extraterrestrial intelligence) builds upon mathematical languages to create a general purpose programming language. While the underlying framework may be quite simple, the programs derived from even a small instruction set, when run on a sufficiently fast computing substrate, may interact with their users in real-time and may exhibit complex behavior.
