Reversible computation

• note reversible cascades
• analogy with harmonic oscillator - assymetric - energy backflow
• splitup into many paths via distributing gears (differential / planetary) (analogy electric nodes and transformers)
• link logistic data transmission rods
• pros & cons of rotative logic - reconfigurativability - space use

• why functional programming matters for AP technology
• reversible 1:1 IO mapping - pure functions
• low and high level programming languages
• relevance for multicore parallel computation
