Whup, my bad, yeah. There's another reference manual that goes over the system architecture.
There should be enough info to at least build a simulator here.

I wish. The Goodyear MPP may have more resources, as it was denser and more widely available.

It's what rewriting languages crave!

Absolutely relatable. I only really "got" the concept about 3 years after I started digging into it!

It's a really subtle case of multi-set rewriting. Because rewrite rules can be formulated over any kind of structure, it's easy to swap other structures in.
FRACTRAN, Petri Nets, some fragments of linear logic, and Nova all share the backing structure of "an unordered bag of things, which can have duplicate items".
It's really neat once you start examining the consequences, because of the things in the bag have some structure, you can pattern-match them.
Then anything is possible.
