Claims a concrete mapping from a Turing-complete one-instruction-set ISA into sequences of matrix multiplications and uses a Rosette-based synthesizer to generate the actual encodings. Demonstrates 2x2 matrix encodings that implement subtraction and bit shifts by placing constants in matrix entries and extracting the top-left result, explores block-diagonal speculative execution and coalescing to larger multiplies to reduce accelerator round trips, and notes practical limits from TPU quantization (4–8 bit packing prevents straightforward 32‑bit state) while leaving larger-bit and RISC-style mappings as ongoing work.
