Harmonic Oscillation Ordinator

This is a colossal scale difference engine contained in a hexagonal prism of transparent neutronium. When simple harmonic motion is applied, passing gravity waves are trapped and reflected between the upper and lower hexagons where they can be used to expand the interior into virtual spaces when the neutron flow is halted and reversed.

These reflections would be identical and thus redundant except for the further application of lateral rotation whose frame dragging and prevents the six vertical sides from forming a regular enclosed Euclidean path. The discrepancy allows the virtual space to be populated with non-identical component gears and cams of virtual matter, providing computing power limited only by the gravity wave energy previously collected.

To best exploit this property, HOOs are often used to direct relative dimension controllers to safely contain gravitational collapse apertures within transcendental architectures, though this typically results in an effective wave-gathering size of 1%. This does allow for use on personal vehicles which can then be periodically re-energized at suitable collapsing venues.
