# empty

Creates an empty Cartesi machine object. The returned object does not hold a machine instance and must be initialized by calling `create()` or `load()` before it can be used for computation.

## Function Signature

```ts
enpty(): CartesiMachine
```

## Example

```ts twoslash
import { empty } from "@deroll/cm";

// Create an empty machine object
const machine = empty();

// At this point, the machine is not initialized and cannot be used for computation
console.log(machine.isEmpty()); // true

// You must initialize it with create() or load() before use
machine.create({
    ram: { length: 0x8000000 },
    // ... other config fields ...
});
console.log(machine.isEmpty()); // false
```

## Notes

* Calling any method that requires an initialized machine (such as `run()` or `getRootHash()`) on an empty machine will result in an error.
* Always check `isEmpty()` if you are unsure whether a machine object has been initialized.
