Yeah, it would be an useful extra state on the logic chip itself. It would save having to recompute the condition of chips that definitely will not change, from those that don't, or even probability of states. Instead of 0 or 1 volts, you can have a real number range between 0 and 1. Eh....thats probably how the alien computers do it. I feel like a revelation has occurred moving me from binary logic to Real logic. Like lightening's path to the ground.:-)

In programming though, the idea can still apply. Suppose everything is an object, and you want to test various scenarios. It would speed up things, if you could identify which object you might be able to change state, and which will be more resistant; you could skip by the more resistent objects, and do faster simulations. Like a "tied object system". It's probably best done in Assembly.

It might more closely resemble human thought .....how we mull over various scenarios in our heads.
