I've been looking into this thing, it is supposed to be a turing machine. There is not a lot of info on interwebs of how that would be implemented.
Has anyone seen any programs run on it, how would that look? For example how would two number addition program or something similar would look?
it's useless.

First of all, it's impossible to tell if it's a turing machine simply by looking at it.
You need to understand the theory of computation is a spectrum.

this is a recurring theme in science. Most things are a spectrum. Such as gender and sex. As Nye proved.
>>8866933
There is a proof somewhere, that this is actually turing complete machine.

I think it's in steve wolfram's a new kind of science
>>8866952
Oh. Does it prove the entire spectrum?
The main question I have, how would a very simple program look on this thing and how the result would look.
For example 1+2=3
Have you read this and the paper it links?

I somehow hoped for something more simple, well, okay..

Doesn't really work that way as far as I know. Yes, all calculations able to performed by a computer COULD be carried out by Rule 110, but all Michael Cook (the person who proved its universality) did was show that it was possible to construct another universal system within it. There might not be a way to easily do so in practice (could take vast amounts of memory).
Decent details here:

watch this video, it might give you some insight.

it's ridiculously complicated to produce, but you can make it so it adds 2 bits together (0+0=0, 0+1 or 1+0 = 1, and 1+1=0 with a carry out 1)
then you could produce an adder for any number of bits
