Block Transfer Computation: Difference between revisions

[[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. Therefore, organic life forms must do the work. The Monitor's people spoke their computations aloud, for this reason. ([[DW]]: ''[[Logopolis (TV story)|Logopolis]]'')

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. ([[DW]]: ''[[Castrovalva (TV story)|Castrovalva]]'')

Others who have used Block Transfer Computations include the Logopolitans, who used Block Transfer Computations to create a duplicate of the [[Pharos Project]] to maintain the [[Charged Vacuum Emboitment|CVEs]] which prevented [[entropy]] from destroying the [[universe]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[Logopolis (TV story)|Logopolis]]'') The [[Pool]] used Block Transfer Computations to create defenses for itself and to create horrific imagery. ([[NA]]: ''[[Deceit]]''). The [[Time Lord]]s have all used Block Transfer Computations to create duplicates of the [[Eye of Harmony]] in order to power [[Gallifrey]]an [[TARDIS|timecraft]]. ([[PDA]]: ''[[The Quantum Archangel (novel)|The Quantum Archangel]]'') The [[The Remote|Remote]] receiver of the [[Eighth Doctor]]'s companion [[Compassion]] also unintentionally processed the signals she received from [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] into Block Transfer Computations, resulting in Compassion eventually mutating into the [[Type 102]] [[TARDIS]] ([[EDA]]: ''[[The Shadows of Avalon]]''). The [[Farrian]] stole Block Transfer technology during their conquests. They used it to open CVEs and raid [[E-Space]]. ([[CC]]: ''[[The Invasion of E-Space]]'')
