I apologize, :oops: :oops: :oops: of course I was looking at the main image, the p59 gun, instead of the pattern in the infobox, as made clear by the rest of the paragraph. So, my answer to the three examples given at 4) is NO. And yes, as I look now at that p59gun, the three instances of the same D...

1) is it okay to describe closed period-N Snark loops as "signal circuitry"? YES, they can be used as MEMORY LOOPS 2) is it okay to describe "closed period-N dependent reflector loops" as "signal circuitry"? NO, they are perfectly described as closed period-N dependent reflector loops . It's a type...

We could say that signals proper have the characteristic that in any circuit - including loops - using them, they can be either present or absent. That's what makes signals capable of "signaling" something, by its presence/absence, 1/0. In other words, signals are not compulsory for the guiding stru...

For all practical purposes, "signal" should be something far lighter than these behemoths. Noone is going to wire any device using signals heavier than, say, a loafer. Of course, it is possible to build Heisenburp devices for things like weekenders, dragons, coeships, spaguetti monsters and so on, e...
