Abstract
Various issues pertaining to the physical construction of systems that are based on regularly interconnected device planes, such as heat removal and extensibility of the optical interconnections for larger systems, are discussed. Regularly interconnected device planes constitute a foundation architecture that is reasonably close to the best possible as defined by physical limitations. Three application platforms based on the foundation architecture described are offered.
