What is this "symbolic simplification engine"? :?: :!:
All Cytomic core analog modelling DSP is handled by an automated symbolic circuit solver and optimised code generator that uses symbolic expressions throughout. This way expressions can be simplified by standard algebraic rules, which is essential to automate optimisations. For example

Code:

a*b + a*c -> a*(b + c)
and you just saved one multiply. These simplifications, along with working out which bits can be pre-computed, add up to lots of savings on cpu. This makes it possible for Cytomic to do in depth and detailed circuit models but still be reasonable on the cpu.

The rabbit hole goes a lot deeper, but that gives you the general idea. For more info you can check out the technical papers section of the Cytomic web page, in particular there is an Audio Developer Conference (ADC) talk I gave linked at the top of the page called "From Circuit to Code: Under the Hood of Analog Modelling" -
