Block Transfer Computations could create or re-create any object or spacetime event, provided enough mathematical information was supplied. ([[DW]]: ''[[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. ([[DW]]: ''[[Castrovalva (TV story)|Castrovalva]]'') Living creatures, like the [[Ceccec]], could be made using Block Transfer Computation. ([[EDA]]: ''[[The Tomorrow Windows]]'') Artificial intelligences could be made as well. ([[BFA]]: ''[[Unregenerate!]]'') Block Transfer Computation could even allow [[time travel]], though it would require a quorum of 12 people.

[[Computer]]s could not do Block Transfer Computations as the calculations themselves would alter the nature of the computer; organic life forms must do the work. The Monitor's people spoke their computations aloud, for this reason. ([[DW]]: ''[[Logopolis (TV story)|Logopolis]]'') Though they were working on technological means to use Block Transfer Computations, the [[Logopolitan]]s were destroyed before they completed it.
