Rules, Part One

As stated in the post below, current is a flow of electrons from negative to positive potential. This occurs in much the same way that water flows to fill a small basin, like a dish. Pour a small amount of water on one edge and the water will "flow" to fill the whole basin. This is generally what electricity is like. A circuit operates because the electrons flow through various elements such as resistors, switches, lights, each of which "reduces" the charge until it finally reaches the other side, where the total charge is neutral.

In circuits that I am planning, however, don't have to follow these rules. With six different "flavors" of quark, these circuits will have to neutralize up to three separate charges. I think I might have to bend the rules even more because it will be a nightmare to come up with ways to balance 2/3 and -1/3 charges in innovative circuits.

Most of all this blog is to be an artistic exploration, not a rigorous research into semi-actual quantum computer design. I think I'm allowed to play around a little...
