In other words, a certain **time of non-reality** pushed far enough will make any device digital. Supposing I have a block here, supposing I drill conical holes into it, now this could be used as an analogy. I could put things here or there. I distinguish these reasons [meint er regions?], however, not by actually giving a map of the region but what the ball will roll into. In [159] other words, as I emphasize as the important measurement, the whole field of attraction of these, the probability that the ball will stand at the edge of regions in balance has become extremely small. I could do this to a degree by introducing not an absolute separation but a quantity which went up faster than the first power. I could get devices intermediate between digital and numerical devices. The important thing of the digital device is the use of non-linearity in | order to amplify the distinction between fields of attraction and that can be done to a greater or lesser degree. I am considering it now from the physical point of view of the human[:] instead of taking the places it rolls into. […] My indeterminacy would be something intermediate between what it would be with a pure analogical and a pure digital device. I think it is necessary to consider the physics of digital devices.« \\ \\ Norbert Wiener ==== Transistor ==== {{http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/de/7/73/Transistor_animation.gif}} [[http://www.kpsec.freeuk.com/trancirc.htm|Transistor Circuits]] \\ [[http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/HBASE/Electronic/trangate.html|Transistor Gates]] \\ [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistor%E2%80%93transistor_logic|RTL]] \\ [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor%E2%80%93transistor_logic|TTL]] \\ [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NE555|NE555 Timer IC (Best-selling IC ever)]] \\ [[http://www.electronics-project-design.com/TouchSwitch.html|Delay Circuit with NE555]] \\ [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multivibrator|Multivibrator]] \\ [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multivibrator|Flip-Flop]] \\ [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multivibrator||Multivibrator]] ==== Logic Gates ==== [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic_gate|Logic Gates Wikipedia]] [[Workshop Logic Boards (Layouts)]] \\ \\ {{http://www.no-surprises.de/workshop/content/images/3e4894d1811fe4d972a536277f94ba81.png}}
