We all can agree that Redstone is a cool concept, right? Sadly, it was executed in a not-so-great fashion. Sure, there are people who have made working clocks with realistic wiring, but how much space does this take? I have composed a solution (not necessarily simple) to conserve space and increase convenience. (If you take the time to read all of this, you deserve a gold medal.)
THE CARD:
A card is made by putting 6 fiberglass (see next) in a 2x3 square and iron in the remaining boxes. Put 4 cards in a 2x2 to make a circuit block.
THE CIRCUIT BLOCK:
The base of compact technology. Made in the crafting table and programmed in the welding table (see next), this can contain Redstone wiring on all sides like a grid as well as repeaters and gates. It will contain a power input and output that you set down (see Other Stuff) so it can connect multiple appliances with a single lever or button without taking up too much space, so you could put an OR gate in the block and a switch on both sides and the door will actually WORK with two levers.
WELDING TABLE:
The area that you program a circuit block. Made like the crafting table with 4 circuit blocks in a square, it is used to put wiring and Redstone torches on a circuit block. The grid would have a 3x3 with four arrows on all sides and a single box under it. Put the block you want to program in the single box and put the wiring in on the 3x3. Putting wire on the 3x3 will result in having, well, wire, in the selected quadrant on the circuit block's grid. That way, a single side can hold up to 9 wire. Press an arrow to switch the side you are editing. Eventually, you will have a maximum of 54 wire on a single block. There might need to be a different way for wire to connect instead of the automatic way, as it would be tight quarters.
OTHER STUFF:
Power Input: A brick of Redstone dust (2x2 in a crafting area) that goes on the circuit block. Putting a Redstone torch in or on the circuit block would power it according to where the input is.
Power Output: A brick of Redstone with a stick on top of it. This also goes on the circuit block to send electricity out of the block. Same concept as the input.
Hopefully these concepts are legitimate or...good. Using these you could make complex circuitry at a ninth of the size, or less. Locks, clocks, and other crap people think up can be made in more time and more supplies, but less space. This is what this idea aims for. Review, please.
WHat above said. Also, if I get this right, this would be a bit hard to figure out on your own, and minecraft is meant to have everything figure-able alone without help.

use smilies not words for your recipes, they give a much clearer picture that way.
I HATE SIGNATURES MADE BY PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY'RE BEING CLEVER.
