Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented control method comprising the steps of: providing a locking script in a first blockchain transaction, the locking script comprising at least one instruction arranged to process at least one Boolean input, wherein the at least one instruction in the locking script is arranged to implement a truth table of a logic gate;
providing a further blockchain transaction having an unlocking script;
processing, by at least one computing resource or agent, at least one input signal to provide at least one Boolean input; and
using the at least one Boolean input to execute the locking and unlocking scripts of the first blockchain transaction and further blockchain transaction, wherein the computing resource or agent are arranged to influence behaviour of a device or process based upon validity of the further transaction, wherein the method comprises controlling a device or process based upon the validity of the further transaction, wherein the validity is determined or established by a computer-based control agent, wherein the computing agent interprets a valid transaction as a TRUE output from the logic gate and the computing agent interprets an invalid transaction as FALSE output from the logic gate.
