Polymers as Turing machines / pattern processing chemistry

One of the artificial chemistries of Banzhaf & Yamamoto, Artificial Chemistries (MIT Press, 2015), §10.5.3; first proposed by McCaskill, 1988; hardware realisations NGEN/POLYP with Tangen, Schulte, Maeke, Gemm, Breyer, Ackermann.

Its generator ships with the chemart library, so loading it runs no code from the hub and needs no trust_remote_code.
