I got ideas: Punchcard-Dock to exchange logic data and punchcard writers.

    Punch-card reader | Dock | Doors which open/close for opposite punch-card readers.
    Additionally you can make a punch-card writer with cannons on an unshielded entity.

    This means that space-stations can now save and load information for a ship which docks onto it!

    Disclaimer: and as long as customers pay for punch-cards and docking space.
    A questions for which I don't know answers jet:

    1. I wish there were a Quantum-RAM, not just a Quantum-ROM, any ideas?
    Punchcards store only 1 bit per block, while quantum-roms store as many bits as you have links to the output fields. n/4 * n/4 *2 + 24 block overhead =
    = number bits a quantum-rom can store where n is the number of "[and, and]→ [or→and]" groups.

    2. A way to put logic into display blocks and compile it to link data data with external scripts.

    The Display-Block could be near a Logic block which links a required number of other logic blocks, just like a computer would. The compiler would then link these blocks in a way to create your program. If logic links other display blocks, the logic can connect, allowing to extract and insert bits into the compiled logic.
    Grammar-based logic would be a step forward to allow us to make better AIs.
