Trigonal-Cyclic Read/Write might be the next step towards a mass-photon RAM unit... except I can't figure out how to make it work! I'm publishing this as a plea for help and to kick off discussion. Any and all feedback/advice/comments are appreciated!

    Note that at temperatures above 149, the temperature of that particle gets slightly modified, for example, setting a particle's temp at 250.00. Saving and reloading makes it 249.85

    lol, FRAY also interprets decimals in temperatures. Let's say we have 79.85C on FRAY. This applies a velocity of 7.985 to a particle. That small change might make a difference in the long run, i.e. PHOTs escaping. :p

    @Schmolendevice: You are a brave, brave soul to dive into the source code. Let me know what you find, I'll tinker with distances and see where that goes. Thanks for all your help so far!

    Hrmm... looks interesting. Might look into this in a while

    @motaywo Huh, from a quick look right now, it seems that the only problem with the third prototype is that either the top FRAYs' temp should be adjusted so that the PHOT lands exactly in front of the left FRAY or the left FRAY be positioned closer to the right. To achieve arbitrary positioning, we need to document exactly how the added velocity is calculated from the temperature of the FRAY. After that, it becomes little different from standard "DRAY wiring".

    @motaywo Indeed, I managed to derive in part the principles of this solution before having seen it for myself, although what may have put me off with the "trigonal" was that I had more of a compact "square" in mind. Is the current issue with FRAY having some randomness in the velocity vector addition it performs? And indeed, excellent presentation style. I'll take a look at the FRAY source code tomorrow and see what I can whip up.

    which might work

    unless you mean that the data would be written onto photons before they enter the CRW?

    maybe, but some element of FRAY would still be needed to apply data via filt

    without having to worry about the instabillity of fray/velocity
