For a lot of the math required I essentially had to use DOOM game mechanics and voodoo dolls (DOOM is turing complete btw) and exchange them with the actual operations, essentially creating an alternative to NumPy (a 65000x slower one).

Truly, the possibilities are endless, and even larger-scale training of DOOMFORMER could be done on a measly T4.If anyone would like to help me scale this up and make crazier things, I'd love to work together.
