It's all three: theoretical, academic and practical :-) Actually everything is pretty much build up from very basic knowledge.

But beware that it has a high information density and that it is for the mathematically inclined.

To digest in small portions :-)

All code is also in a unimplemented instruction set architecture, so having a familiarity with some assembler is recommended.

There seem to be implementations, such as http://www.gnu.org/software/mdk/manual/mdk.html . One person's "unimplemented instruction set architecture" is another's "virtual machine".

I was referring to hardware implementations, but cool nonetheless!
