 Block Transfer Computations could create or re-create any object or spacetime event, provided enough mathematical information was supplied. ([[TV]]: ''[[Logopolis (TV story)|Logopolis]]'') The Computations could also re-create or even duplicate people. [[Adric]], imprisoned by [[the Master]] in a [[hadron web]], created an entire city and its people. ([[TV]]: ''[[Castrovalva (TV story)|Castrovalva]]'') Living creatures, like the [[Ceccec]], could be made using Block Transfer Computation. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Tomorrow Windows]]'') Artificial intelligences could be made as well. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Unregenerate!]]'') Block Transfer Computation could even allow [[time travel]], though it would require a quorum of 12 people. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Boy That Time Forgot]]'')
-[[Computer]]s could not do Block Transfer Computations as the calculations themselves would alter the nature of the computer, though they were working on technological means to do so, the [[Logopolitan]]s were destroyed before they completed it. As such, organic life forms had to do the work as morphologically unstable living organic matter could handle the stress of reality-changes caused by block transfer mathematics. The Monitor's people spoke their computations aloud for this reason, ([[TV]]: ''[[Logopolis (TV story)|Logopolis]]'') but there were few others. The correct organic material could be found with [[Gallifrey]], [[Axos]], and possibly even [[Nestene]] matter. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark]]'')
