Each code on the back of the Captchalogue is in the form of a captcha.  These codes are unique to every object in the game.  It starts out with 000000, or an extremely generic object, to !!!!!!!, which is the victory door, or for our purposes, an impossible object to obtain through any other methood than playing the game normally.

The CARD PUNCHER then accepts these codes and punches holes on the cards.  It does this by reading each digit (as in, 64 bit digit, represented by 0-9 and the alphabet in both cases, and ? and !) and punching out their binary number on each line, repeating for each line.

So for this example, 110100 (P) 010011 (i) 000111 (7) 000001 (1) 010111 (m) and 000011 (3).

It would then punch this code accordingly onto the card that you put onto it.

You would then take the punched card and put it into the Totem lathe.  It would then Carve the lathe in the fashion that you punched your cards in.  You can also combine two punched cards in two possible methods.  The first of these methoods is the || methood, or the "Or" methood.  This combines the two codes only where there is holes on both cards, meaning, if line 1 from card 1 is 010011 and line 1 from card 2 is 001101 then the only hole that should be made is the last hole.  Now, the other methood to combining is &&, or Anding it.  This is where the traits of both items cary over, and anywhere there's a hole, there would be a hole.  Take for example 011001 and 100110, now the code would be 111111.  The use of these two methoods will make any item you could ever imagine.

Now, you would then take the carved lathe, and alchemize it, making the item you want, purely based on the lathe and the material you put into it, becuase it will cost material.
