It’s interesting to have both a hoard of ability and objects ate the same time. What also helps is a fascination of innocuous things. When I worked at an art supply store, we had many smaller items in independent bins, like pencils. Certain mechanical pencils came in little plastic sleeves that we were required to remove. Every Tuesday when our resupply order was delivered, without fail, there’d be at least 10 of these pencils in the shipment. The plastic sleeves would have been thrown into the trash, and I found them unique and curious. I kept close to 100, and this is how each bit string got it’s own case.

I had these peculiar individual pencil packets stored away for some reason, and as I explored thoughts and research on quantum computing, a use became apparent. According to quantum computing, one could use the multiple states of the same particle as either the on or off state of the bit. This bit packet would then be really small, and bizarrely variable. I translated the idea of such a small packet of information to a literal macro scale unit.
