- Cansu has the ability to permute a small number of its instructions to
- make itself look different. (12 permutations). Once in memory, it

- The strain of Cansu with which we are familiar does not damage
- systems. It only has the capability to display a large V on the
- screen. This large V accounts for its aliases as V-SIGN and BigV.
