Show HN: Impossible Machines: declaratively program the physical world

A thought experiment explores the concept of declarative programming applied to the physical world, where a system figures out how to achieve a desired effect without requiring explicit instructions on how to do so. This is demonstrated in software, with a user demonstrating an effect (e.g. ringing a bell with a crank) and the system finding a way to connect the two, even when obstacles are introduced. The idea is to think about problems at a higher level of abstraction, with the system solving the details.
