I don't really understand, what the Graphs on page 9 and 13 represent, but they look somewhat like a world map with the continents. I wouldn't be surprised if there's actually a geographic connection. A lot of ingrediants are probably more prevalent in certain world regions.

For anyone who regularly has to look at/analyze binary files, i highly recommend ImHex [1].

Its a hex editor built with imgui and has a lot of built in tools. Imo the best feature is the data structure editor. You can write a data type definition similar to C and it overlays it on the hexdump and parses it in a structured way while you type.

It also has a node based editor.

The compiler is an interesting artifact on its own [...]

its funny bacause by (most) definitions, it is not an artifact:

a usually simple object (such as a tool or ornament) showing human workmanship or modification as distinguished from a natural object

Is it possible to implement something similar but with a protocol that supports compression? Can we have a zip bomb but with a compressed http response that gets decompressed on the client? There are many protocols that support compression in some way.
