Software

Software were the instructions designed for computers to perform specific functions.
The Doctor's sonic screwdrivers all used the same software despite various different models, effectively mirroring the Doctor themselves - "same software, different face." The Doctors used this to their advantage to make centuries-long calculations in seconds (given the process was started by the War Doctor's sonic screwdriver as a subroutine that worked right up during the Tenth Doctor's time and completed four hundred years later by the Eleventh Doctor's time) in an attempt to break down their cell door molecularly while imprisoned in the Tower of London.
