So if I'm to understand this correctly, the proposition would involve designing new chips based not on transistors but an oscillating component made out of something like [probably uneducated example] quartz crystal? Or just to also include something like the latter? For the purpose of manipulating data flow? Or is this all a network of transformers inducing the flow on each other? edit: This helps, I guess there's no sound, practical solution yet. Clearly, LC oscillators have serious practical limitations: inductors remain a major challenge in any planar and miniaturized technology." I'm at work and I've only read into the second page so far, but it's interesting. I didn't know Van Neumann had an oscillatory computer design. Very interesting!
