The Communications Working Memory.
The Communications Working Memory, like the Nucleus Working Memory, is
a WritableInfoString (with a limited maximum length) which a cell can
use to compose arbitrary sequences of bits. A cell can then issue a
cwm_send instruction to broadcast the contents of the
Communications Working Memory into the environment (explained in
Section 4.5.5). The Communications Working Memory does not directly
affect the functioning of the cell in any other way.
