Rod logic
(wiki-TODO: Cover the below points)
- Add a basic explanation
- Show and explain basics (retractile cascades - collect all relevant images here)
- Show and explain Robert Baruchs reversible logic latch memory cell (from links below)
- Different designs polyyne rods vs crystolecule rods
- Considerations regarding friction/dissipation and radiation hardness

Robert C. Baruchs old work on rod logic
Especially interesting here is a latching memory cell that
seems simpler and more natural than the one presented in the book Nanosystems.
