Hmm.
Why organize with those fiberoptic wires at all when all programming is done by organizing isolinear chips in a grid?
(Also, as easily as those chips pop out, every time the inertial dampeners fail just enough for the crew to feel hull damage but not enough to turn them to paste, they would all fall out and require Data to reorganize them.)
I’m convinced the chips do nothing, and the entire thing was dreamed up by the daystrom institute as a way to keep hyperactive engineers busy without fucking anything up, while the computer actually just solves everything.
Data is the only character we see with a dedicated computer in his quarters, and I bet that’s for a very good reason.
“It’s the 24th goddamned century, and we still haven’t mastered basic cable management.”
And still don’t have enough bandwidth to multiplex all the signals.
Or are they proprietary cables?
“Damn it Jim! I’m a programmer, not a Starfleet Academy trained engineer!”
