So Logicspren are the Resonators / Clock elements of the Stormlight Circuitry.  This is HUGE!   That's the last big piece needed to make Fabrial based Universal Turing Machines, and by extension Fabrial Computers!

 

Ill be back with more detailed thoughts after I finish Ch 15, but I really want to play with this new puzzle piece

Computer programmer here... What was described was binary code... Logicspen are is the software to program and control fabrials...

Sorry for cross-posting, but I realized that this comment would probably fit better in this thread than in the "logicspren clock" thread where I first posted it:

Any thoughts on why the clock we saw in Kaladin's village used smokestone?

So, now we have an analogue to an atomic clock, and also an avenue towards logic gates and transistors.  Given the rarity of logicspren, though, it would be impossible to build a traditional computer with one logicspren per transistor--there probably aren't enough logicspren on Roshar to build even a single ENIAC analogue.

But could you build a quantum computer, with one logicspren per qbit?   That would be much more spren-efficient than a spren-ENIAC would be.  Of course, the logicspren would have to run on some kind of modal Kleene or Godel logic that allowe multiple simultaneous truth-values. 
What do you think?  Can logicspren only use Aristotelian logic?

The logicspen are the interface ... Letting you inject the "compiled code instructions" into the fabrial... You don't need to attach it all the time.. Just wen you want to program it.... If true.. The computer geek in me is doing back flips
