[[The Monitor]], leader of the [[Logopolitan]]s, explained that [[computer]]s apparently cannot use Block Transfer Computations as the calculations themselves would alter the nature of the computer.

Block Transfer Computations could be used to create or re-create any object or spacetime event, provided enough mathematical information was supplied. ([[DW]]: ''[[Logopolis (TV story)|Logopolis]]'') The Computations can also re-create or even duplicate people. [[Adric]], imprisoned by [[the Master]] in a [[hadron web]], created an entire city and its people.
