Using ZX calculus to unify different approaches to fault tolerance. Could this provide the new framework in which we design fault tolerant circuits?

had a lot of fun playing with LURK and reviewing its crypto with Adrian Hamelink: from Lisp dialect to ZKP via Nova incremental verification

New speedrunning category unlocked: 'snip20% glitchless.'
