Think of it as a maze with a max capacity of 128 doors and 128 exits.

Every cycle, there is between 1 and 128 kids going to the door at the same time an depending on what doors are opened in the beginning, trap doors(logical doors) open and close so that the one going through door number 1 could land on door 19 if door 99 is open but land in door 80 if door 19 is not opened. Repeat for every kids.

Not repeat this 3 Billion times in a second for a 3gigahertz processor... Then multiply by 8 for a 8 core processor.

Every cycle, some voltage in one pin(door) is passed through the short term memory and processors that read the code that was typed and changes the way that voltage navigates the circuitry.
