Light is the quintessential messenger. It travels faster than anything. It weighs nothing, and
costs almost as little to make. A million rays of light carrying a thousand colors can travel along with each

This is the parallelism of light, and it represents massive communication and computational power. With
it, machines of light can do a million things at once.
