Yet another merge device: However, this one does not easily extend to more than two inputs, unlike the ones used in the stack example program. Int-e (talk) 23:12, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Can't you trivially put a third one coming straight through the upper Q? --Ørjan (talk) 00:53, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Indeed you can, which means that you can stack several of these things on top of each other. So it does generalize in a fairly nice way to an arbitrary number of inputs after all, though I still think concentrating all inputs on a single beacon is the superior method.

 * Anoter design, this one uses just one pair of beacons and a mirror per input, and three beacons and a mirror for output. (Extending it may require moving the right  further to the right, in which case the upper     ... have to move up by the same distance) Int-e (talk) 20:21, 6 March 2017 (UTC)


 * The  in the stack example can be extended as well. A more compact version:

→        7 →        6   →       5    →      4     →     3      →    2          Z →   1           /     → Q\Q Z             X\/ \ Q/  1 X     2 3             Y   4 \ /5             Y 6 7
