Simpler than SAP-1?

Imagesource: https://youtu.be/mPkAgXJOoSc

The Simple-as-Possible-1 architecture first described by Albert Malvino is actually already so barebones, that even less than that is hardly imaginable. At least, if it is supposed to be Turing-complete, and thus to be able to execute quite sensible programs completely automatically.

So what is there to Dr. Matthew Regan's claim: Simpler than SAP-1?

We don't want to get ahead of ourselves. If you know Ben Eater's 8-bit journey, you know what it's about, but you'll still be pleasantly surprised and entertained. If you don't know Ben yet, this video is highly recommended, followed by Ben's series on a SAP-1 homebrew.

Curious? Rightfully so.
