Matthew Waterhouse: Adric

Quotes 

• The Monitor : For many uses, machinery is unsurpassed, but Logopolis is not interested in such uses. Block Transfer Computations can not be done with computers.

  Adric : Why not?

  The Monitor : Our manipulation of numbers directly changes the physical world. There is no other mathematics like ours.

  Adric : D'you mean the computations themselves would affect a computer?

  The Monitor : Of course. Change it's nature; cause it to malfunction. Only the living brain is immune.
