After the 4-bit 4004 CPU, there was Complex Instruction Set Computing.

Next was Reduced Instruction Set Computing, or RISC.  Then came MISC:
http://www.dnai.com/~jfox/misc.html Minimal Instruction Set Compuing.

Now there is http://www.fr.ibm.com/france/cdlab/zisc.htm ZISC, or
Zero Instruction Set Computing, in the form of a neural-net chip.

What we need now is http://www.scn.org/~mentifex/webcyc.html#compsci
Neuro Instruction Set Computing, in order to implement a brain-mind:
