Awesome! have a gif of a working calculator? Reminds me of the way that people would build digital electronics in the 'powder-toy' genre of games. Was that an inspiration for this project?

Looks similar to Wireworld[1], although the rules are different

The part about crossing wires creating a transistor is actually conceptually very similar to what real IC layouts look like, although in the latter there are multiple layers and only the bottom two - polysilicon and diffusion - interact to create transistors:
