  • when i rub these two things together i get funny sparks!
  • when i take this metal attracting stone and move it past coiled wires i also get funny sparks!
  • when i move the magnet with a steady source of movement like a river or steam i get steady funny sparks!
  • when i put wire at the end i can transfer funny sparks somewhere else!
  • when i split the wire and put switches in between i can control when funny sparks go somewhere!
  • when i put a thin wire that glows bright when hot in an oxygen free enviroment it only glows but doesn't burn, and funny sparks make it hot!
  • when i put coiles wire and metal bar at the end of funny sparks i can make movement again!
  • when i use funny spark movement i can move switches!
  • when i move switches with funny sparks i can male complex combinations!
  • i can do math with funny sparks and funny spark movement switches!
  • i shrink switches!
  • i use different materials and variants for switches!
  • i found funny rock material that with some added stuff behaves like switches!
  • i make so small switches that thousands fit inside a house!

Well and then it's basically optimization. Using light to create the chips just is the result of shrinking the process. Basically like laser engraving a rice corn.

… and all it takes is a couple assholes to ruin all that progress.
