I am not talking about limitations of find or mkdir like other commenters are.
I can write a Python program that simulates rule 110 with unbounded state width and unbounded iteration depth. I might not be able to execute it on any computer (it's going to run out of memory at some point), but I can still reason about it and its behavior with a (theoretical) infinite memory. After reading the blog post, I am not convinced I can write such a program using `find` and `mkdir`, since the provided example uses explicit limits for WIDTH and ITER in the program itself.
