What I can think of now is a 19x19 cpu grid. With certain connections between 
the cpus. For example, there is no need to connect between A1 and T19. The 
difference is that this grid is not used for solving a differential equation 
or calculate FFT. What important is that the cpus can talk to each other. 
That is a two-way communication. For example, two neighbouring cpus will 
negotiate with each other to find out the properties of the connection 
between them. Further more if a position form a chain, the cpus at those 
positions can recognize it and form a logical connection and relay this 
information to a higher level.

By the way how to get listed on the GnuGo list?
