How to actually read QR codes, untar/decompress, bootstrap a C compiler and so on is supposed to be part of the index on each reel, but I'd really love to see these instructions! They are mentioned as the "Representation Information" (see https://git.io/JJDLP).
I'd be interested to see them bootstrap a CPU from scratch.

Ingredients:

- Soil

- Seeds

- Salt water

- Rare-earth mines

- ???
