Every single article I checked trying to find a pure LUT based FPGA had some sort of routing fabric in it.
I can't find anything that is close to the bitgrid.
I'm going to try to relax, and wait for the Excedrin to kick in.
Wherein Mike Warot describes a novel approach to computing which follows George Gilders call to waste transistors.

Salutations, Mike. I am most intrigued by your BitGrid project, and glad to have discovered it, as it demonstrates convergent evolution with several other lineages of alternative computing paradigm proposals. In particular, I am reminded of
1) Alan Kay's description of computers as a "sea" of object-oriented microprocessors, as fine-grained as to allocate one core to every integer object, all communicating by message-passing.
2) Chuck Moore's company GreenArrays, which builds many-multi-core FORTH chips, each core a small FORTH microprocessor: http://www.greenarraychips.com/
3) MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms work on RALA, Reconfigurable Asynchronous Logic Automata: http://cba.mit.edu/projects/rala/index.html
4) My own work, on Geometrically Explicit Logic Circuits: https://github.com/jpt4/prc
At your discretion, I would be interested in further discussing our topics of mutual interest, either via e-mail or this comments section.
