Cenogram

A cenogram is a graphical comparison of the average adult weight of mammalian species within a terrestrial area. In studying ancient communities, it is used to draw conclusions about biome, including whether a biome is species rich, its relative humidity and level of forestation. Cenograms were introduced in 1964 by J.A. Valverde in Terre et Vie and have become common in the study of prehistoric fauna of the northern hemisphere.[1]

gollark: I've decided to switch to having 32 registers, so there should be room for useful* features like the metaprogramcounter.
gollark: It does mean that you need self-modifying code to subtract non-constant numbers, but such is the price of such elegance.
gollark: This is how I merged `MOV` (in the sense of "set register to fixed value") and `ADD`.
gollark: See, there are exactly 16 registers, one of which, r0, always contains 0, and one of which, rf, is the program counter, and many of the instructions take a 4-bit value representing which register to pull from.
gollark: <@!330678593904443393> You would pass it 6 register indices.
