Number system convertor using light and glass - core logic

Alphabets to ascii code convertor - Application 1 ASCII code to binary convertor - Application 2

Imagine, if convertors are placed on top of one another.

Source of light need not be a problem as we can stack lenses to power it up.

Based on reading other's comments, I can see they are comparing it to an AI.

Its a problem solver using light and stacked glass. It uses structure from an AI. Neural networks filters data. you can use a digital(electronic) device or purely electrical

Input - Processing - Output - Conventional computation engine, it doesn't say it should be electrical / mechanical. First computer was a mechanical device.

This uses light!

Here is another application.

How can a blind person tell whether it is day or night ? give a light bending device that will focus light on the person's palm. If it heats up, its day.

Use a stacked light bending layers to get a yes/no answer.
