Illogical computer

...silence against the serial machine...

Ms. Lovelace laughs. You silly girl.

This mechanism doesn't use Boolean logic.  That's all done in software.  There is not even an "if/then/else" statement in there.  The closest analogue she has is, "was/is/will be".  It's a computer from a computer.

Up dimension of cat.

Planted to the ground.

It came from another dimension.

This computer might be made of wood, but I'm not limiting myself to any historical period of implementation.  Like Mr. Spock, I get to choose from centuries of "human"  achievements in logic and invention.

Mr Spock freaking out on some polynomials. 

I think you're starting to understand Mr Spock.

Here is an early (latest) prototype at the moment it was given the spark of life.  (We know what we're doing now.)
