So far I have covered simple elements of circuit design. The next step is to talk about he quarks themselves and how they will "flow". As stated before, there are six types of quark which can come from a decaying neutron. I decided that at the beginning of each circuit there should be three different path through which the particles can enter.
Diodes in traditional circuits will control the flow of current in one direction, but I can implement new diodes which only allow certain particle types to enter. For example: a diode that only allows strange quarks to enter and restricts all others. By putting this restriction in, I don't have to worry about what might happen with other different particles from entering the circuit.
This step also allows me to design new components with behavior dependent on certain quarks. I'll try posting some sketches of these new components in the near future.

Rules Two

Rules, Part One, Section A
Elementary particles, as with all particles, decay over time. The time lines for particle decay are very long, some even in the thousands of years. However, there are artificial ways of making a particle decay. I'll assume that the standard circuit will be composed of decayed neutrons, which have an overall charge of zero. Therefore, the neutron become the power source and current flow is a measure of the different quarks that travel along the lines.
In constructing each circuit there must be a power source from which the potential is generated and to which it eventually returns, though this rule can be bent with the inclusion of a ground exit. The ground is assumed to have a constant charge to which all current will flow. Usually there are two types of ground: chassis and "earth", meaning the total charge is funneled into either the casing of an object or directly into the earth (dirt) itself. Using the quantum model, I have fashioned another type of ground, and perhaps two. One ground is what I call "cosmic", meaning that the net charge is bled into the background "cosmic" quark field, and another is "time", meaning that over time the net charge is assumed to be zero.
I also decided that time ground cannot operate without what I call a time power, meaning that time itself is factored into the circuit as a form of power, such that the circuit itself operates on incredibly long time cycles, as we normally see with decay of particles.
There is also a cosmic power source, which draws power from the cosmic field of quarks in the universe, but it cannot operate without a cosmic ground (the net charge of the universe is also assumed to be zero).

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...
