Reminds me of college: "Hardware and Software are logically equivalent"
If you have registers, it's not "no memory".
If you have flip flops, it's not "no memory". If you have a ROM, it's not "no memory". Needlessly pedantic! I thought this was pretty cool but the first video didn't play. All this write up and I really just want to see the damn demo in action first! (Edit: reloaded the page and it worked. I still would like to see it on rela hardware!)

I don't know. Analog signal processing is clearly less memory than a register, no? So a line exists somewhere and I think it's way before no RAM.
Bucket-brigade delay lines?

But I'm not really familiar with what that is.
As a computer science guy who interlops in computer engineering i really want to find time to build something cool like this and tapeout. The retro architectures for rendering are simple but fun! I love the project
It’s amazing and wonderful to see the Internet support these tiny cliques of interest. Having everybody connected leads to homogenization of culture in some ways, but it also supports these couple dozen (?) people around the world finding each other for this amazing little competition.

I'm not saying every analog signal processor is surely memory free, simply that you can imagine one that is. But I'm not really familiar with what that is.
Imagine a pair of MOSFETs connected to a pair of capacitors, and a bunch of those joined together in a chain. All the gates of each one of the pair of MOSFETS are connected together, giving you a "left" and "right" clock input.
When you put a signal in if you pulse the "left" and "right" inputs, it'll store the signal voltage in one capacitor, then pass it off to the next capacitor in turn, like old-timey firefighter handing buckets of water down a line of people.
They used to use this for delaying audio signals before digital memory and analogue to digital conversion was cheap enough to use.
