But first, TL;DR:
TAU-800B approaches the theme of Anachronism in many ways, some literal and some figurative. It is a full emulation of a time traveling computer, that despite having that ability and sporting a retrofuturistic interface, obeys computing paradigms of the 70s.

These strange internals (6 bit words, 6 word stack, assembly only) are fully exposed for the viewer that takes a closer look. Keeping with the 70s theme, there's also a complete reference manual next to the screen, providing further hints on the nature of the artifact.
