Huh?
You asked if the engine was behind the front wheels. I replied in the negative. (The red spikey thing is No, the golden diamond thing is Yes.)
I never noticed this before, but the neutral configuration suggests a tri-state machine. CMOS logic devices are inherently tri-state on their outputs, but I'm not sure how long this feature has been recognized as a useful concept in computing. Wondering if this would have been anachronistic for a film made in 1983.

I drove a Morgan once about 25 years ago. Didn't get a chance to really get on it (older guy's car, he was riding shotgun), but as I remember it was lots of fun. Not very practical, but cool nonetheless. I'd love one as a summer toy, but not for the prices they charge.

to satisfy my audience:
maybe the bit has a floating state that is ambiguous.
and
regular octahedron

Yeah, I guess... Presupposing that the hardware on which the programs in TRON run is implemented in CMOS logic, then a high-impedance state does exist. I was fixating on whether this state was actually being taken advantage of to do useful work by computer designers around the time that TRON was created, but I guess it doesn't matter if we're viewing it from an "inside" perspective.

Picked up the Appleseed and Appleseed Ex Machina for cheap at a used video store in Orlando. The 3D nostalgia hit me like a ton of bricks. Ex Machina looks tons better and really showed how far something like 3D can progress in 3 years.
The soundtracks are great, too.
