docs(twitter): add 2079746130309415185 corpus (NOTimothyLottes micro macro-forth rough-draft)

5-post design walkthrough of a branch-free 8-bit/word color-forth variant for code generation: ~62 dict entries/page with paging, call/return inlined by the compiler, branch-free compile + branch-free execution, lookup-table pre-compile writes unaligned 8-bytes. Intended for tiny self-contained chunks that include their own codegen. Whitney-esk in single-char vars, non-Whitney in no higher-order arrays.

+Working through rough draft of assembly for a different idea for a micro macro-forth.
+1. 8-bit/word (color to relay meaning)
+2. Roughly 62 useful dictionary entries/page
+3. Supports paging (to extend dictionary)
+4. Supports call/return - but compiler inlines everything
+...

+5. Compile step is branch-free
+6. Compiles to branch-free x86-64 source
+7. Which is then executed
+
+Noticed that I can pre-compile all the dictionary words into a lookup table. So actual compile just writes unaligned 8-bytes but only advances the write pointer by the actual size

+
+The interesting bits about this micro project was factoring out all branches, using branch-free interpreter loop to inline all calls so later execution is linear. Got messy doing a branch free software return stack. But costs are relatively low (40 ops/character)

+
+Intended usage would be for tiny-gramming programs in self contained chunks that include their own code generation (effectively a macro-forth used to generate machine code).

+A language that you author in a compressed space directly. So Whitney-esk in using lots of single character variables (or double character with page characters) -BUT- very non-Whitney in that it has no higher order array constructs
