Tests are a key mechanism here for creating a computer that others can make
their own. I want to encourage a style of active and interactive reading with
Mu. If something doesn't make sense, try changing it and see what tests break.
Any breaking change should break some well-named test somewhere. Consequently,
any manual test should be easy to turn into a reproducible automated test. Mu
is a testbed for providing this guarantee. It exposes testable interfaces for
hardware using dependency injection so that tests can run on -- and make
assertions against -- fake hardware. It also is an experiment in [automated
white-box testing](http://akkartik.name/post/tracing-tests) which promises
robust tests for performance, concurrency, fault-tolerance, etc.

Currently Mu requires a 32-bit x86 processor.
