Konrad Zuse [1]
Konrad Zuse, (June 22, 1910 - December 18, 1995)
a German engineer and computer pioneer [2]. His greatest achievement was the world's first functional program-controlled Turing-complete computer, the Z3, in 1941. Between 1943 and 1945 Zuse designed the high-level programming language Plankalkül [3] , first published about in 1948. Since 1941 Zuse worked on chess playing algorithms and formulated program routines [4] in Plankalkül in 1945.
His Calculating Space [5] started the field of Digital Physics in 1969, later popularized and extended by Edward Fredkin, Jürgen Schmidhuber [6] and Stephen Wolfram [7].

Plankalkül, two squares (v0, v1) are adjacent, if they are not equal, and both absolute rank and file distance are less or equal than one (L), structural square indices written vertically
Zuse's 8x8 Board with three bit file, rank coordinates: a1 = 000, 000; e2 = L00, 00L
