As for the problems of bit-stream processing maybe this analogy mighy be
applied: I see something like "SimCity". Consisting of simple building
blocks that build into a complex system such as one created in the game.
And you "view" the bits as "sims" moving along their "path of
calculation". Traffic controller can then use statistics to generate
"shortest/fastest path" between sections of the processor and route
streams properly using switching/semaphores/etc (if destination of the
stream is known??!?).
... again, just a thought.

But in terms of Quantum Mechanics (this may seem a little off,... ) -
What routing?!?
