When it comes to electronics in tpt, space and location seem to limit how many bits of data you can move/store...

SO....

I was thinking it might be possible to make some sort of mechanical-electrical device that could... well... do something...using heat and Heat detector. (TSNS)
Theoretically you could have hundreds of different states by raising the temperature of a particle by X, then read it with TSNS.
Have no idea what i'm talking about? Neither do I! That's why I need help!
I swear this could bring about some interesting variables though...
And at the very least it would make a good Linear Shift Register.

In a nutshell, the idea is; Instead of changing the location of a particle, or the state of switch to on or off... You could store a ton more variables via the heat value of a single particle.

Does that make any sense?

EDIT:

By using the actual mechanics of the game i think you could make quite an advanced calculator.
For instance when you have 1 particle of EQVE at 100c and then add another particle of EQVE 0c next to it... What temp do you get?

A shared temp of 50c... Just beautiful...
How temperature is calculated:
Temperature = p1(t1) + p2(t2) = (p1+p2)(x)
#ofparticles(temperature) + #ofparticles(temperature) = Sumofparticles(X)
Solve for X

Using this formula could you build some sort of heat computer?

Glad you got it... I thought it just seemed like the ramblings of a mad scientist XD
Does anyone know how heat conductivity and heat movement is computed?
Might be useful...

Holy crap guys...
Me and sentinel have been talking...
And the possibilities are literally endless...

EDIT:

Here is a simple save using this idea for capacitors:

What I plan to do next is make an array screen with full color.
You could write data in particles of EQVE, temp ranging from 0-9955
As always with array screens/data... You can have ON or OFF states... (usually written in INST memory)
A temp of say.... 0... would be off. a temp of 1, on. Now here's where it gets awesome...
a temp of 2 would also be on, but could also be read as something different from 1. IE (the color red)

Hook this up in a way where you can have some array going thru FILT and you get color!
