Well, I would certainly think about the Perl 6 vritual machine in terms of compilation of the bead-to-bead connectivity. There is a website for parrot now: right here

And when I did neurobiological computer networks, there was an excellent package with 220 little pictures of little blackboxes available called SESAME. And finally, you might look for a small 60-page book called "Machines" which has a bunch of itty bitty little machines that can be hooked together to do computation.

SESAME("Software Environment for the Simulation of Adaptive Modular Systems") SESAME is a prototypical software implementation which facilitates * Object-oriented building blocks approach. * Contains a large set of C++ classes useful for neural nets, neurocontrol and pattern recognition. No C++ classes can be used as stand alone, though! * C++ classes include CartPole, nondynamic two-robot arms, Lunar Lander, Backpropagation, Feature Maps, Radial Basis Functions, TimeWindows, Fuzzy Set Coding, Potential Fields, Pandemonium, and diverse utility building blocks. * A kernel which is the framework for the C++ classes and allows run-time manipulation, construction, and integration of arbitrary complex and hybrid experiments. * Currently no graphic interface for construction, only for visualization. * Platform is SUN4, XWindows Unfortunately no reasonable good introduction has been written until now. We hope to have something soon. For now we provide papers (eg. NIPS-92), a reference manual (>220 pages), source code (ca. 35.000 lines of code), and a SUN4-executable by ftp only. Sesame and its description is available in various files for anonymous ftp on ftp ftp.gmd.de in the directories /gmd/as/sesame and /gmd/as/paper. Questions to sesame-request@gmd.de; there is only very limited support available.
