The more I think about this the more I like it. I think this processor 
will need a two dimensional memory structure to match the whole 
graphical process control structure... Or even better, If we could morph 
the language into a third dimension we might have added the concept of 
subroutine calls. So a three dimensional memory structure might be more 
appropriate.

Once the processor is reasonably functional we could get a second 
project rolling to write a Befunge based OS. I am just trying to picture 
what that would look like.
