Is something like this composable? For example, if they build a kind of lambda calculus for their 'hardware kernels' they can represent arbitrary calculations (by composing them)? Because having to create a different kernel for every calculation seems quite costly.



It seems like it could be. This thing sounds like it focuses on Fredholm integral equations, the solutions should be composable.

These are basically equations g(t) = Integral_t K(t,s) * f(s),

where K(t,s) (the kernel) and g(t) are known, but f(s) isn't. In physical applications, t is usually time. A solution f(s) could be fed into the input of the next device, at least mathematically.
