You do realize, as I said earlier, that I don't actually have the CPU yet, right? All I have is a memory cube, which took three days because I am not a fast builder. In fact, I only have half of it. So when I say the CPU will work, it's because I don't even have a design yet that can be proven to not work, and we know CPU's exist that do work, so we can say it is possible for me to have a CPU that works in our hypothetical situation. Whether or not I designed it myself is irrelevant to the current conditions of the hypothetical.
Most of the instruction set actually just passes through the CPU, being routed to it's destination without any decoding at all.
As for your question about coding, I know what I need it to do, like add, subtract, fetch some memory, ext. but I don't actally have the opcodes for the functions. Even then, I know the first two bits for every opcode because they are the destination being considered.
Calculus is just addition, include multiplication if you don't want it to take as long. Mostly I'm looking at Newton's method when I think of that.
I wrote most of that post before I saw LD's question about pipelines, so all I really wrote to it was those quick last two lines.
Upon consideration, I could venture to say that if you stood back far enough from it and squinted real hard, you would see something that sort of looked like a pipelined CPU.
Also, just in case you still don't know the chunk loading thing I mentioned, I was talking about the spawn chunks. (Also, I had to look up what a command block was because I have never heard of them.)
