Turmite is a type of Turing machine that operates on an infinite grid of cells, specifically designed to demonstrate the principles of computation in a two-dimensional space. It can be seen as an extension of the classic one-dimensional Turing machine, which operates on a tape with discrete cells. In the context of cellular automata and theoretical computer science, Turmites typically have a set of rules that dictate their behavior based on their current state and the color or state of the cell they're currently on.
