   take the TM definition and add REFLECT to it's set of possible operations.   
      
   regurgitation a TM definition to do that is not interesting to me, i'm   
   sure a gpt can help u out with that.

   i've described what REFLECT does several times to you by now, clearly u   
   aren't paying attention so idk why one more time would make a difference:   
      
   REFLECT will cause a bunch of machine meta-information to be written to   
   the tape, starting at the head, overwriting anything its path. at the   
   end of the operation, the head will still be in the same position as at   
   the start of the operation. the information written to tape will include   
   3 components:   
      
   - machine description   
   - current state transition   
   - current tape (the tape state before command runs)
