Removing a bizarre link to something else that has the same name, but is obviously in a completely different field. I suspect someone's spam bot tried to add the link because it saw the surface similarity; it's too bizzarely unrelated for a human to have ever thought it was relevant.

'''Genetix''' is a virtual machine created by theoretical physicist [[Bernard Hodson]] containing only 34 executable instructions.<ref name="cs-20061009a"/> It was inspired by the principles of [[Alan Turing]]<ref name="ns-19971115"/> and allows for an entire [[operating system]], including a [[word processor]] and utilities, to run on 32 kilobytes.<ref name="cs-20061009b"/>
 
"Genes" are sequences of 50 to 100 [[Pointer (computer programming)|pointers]] that either point directly to one of the 34 basic instructions or to another gene. The 700 genes take up approximately 26 kilobytes in size all together. The "gene pool" consists of a closed section and an open section where the users can add their own made genes.
