%X The capacity to utilise FPGA designs in such a way that they
   are compositional, mobile, and *interactive*, offers many
   new possibilities. This holds true for both research and
   commercial applications. With the system described here,
   hardware becomes as easy to distribute as software and the
   mediating links between the two domains allow for
   manipulation of physical resources in real time. Designs are
   no longer monolithic *images* downloaded at one time, but
   mobile entities that can be communicated over a distance and
   dynamically installed at run\-time many times and at many
   places. Such twin domain designs can be as complex as a
   processor, or as small in scale as a few logic gates. The
   run\-time system, Reconnetics, provides an environment of
   high\-level control over such elements, which requires
   little knowledge of the underlying hardware technology.
