> Charges are made out of quarks

Only in Hadrons. Leptons also have charge and they aren’t made of quarks.

I have never thought of such a distinction between "bits" into "data bits" and "switching bits".

From a circuit perspective that makes kinda sense, but from the abstract "bit" perspective, the "switching bit" is a mechanism that operates on bits which in the end are also data. In other words there is only one type of bit: the data bit, and the switching comes on top of it.

It’s just a matter of perspective. Procedures and memory are the same, and they’re also different, depending on how you want to look at it.

I was referring to transistor base bit - the way it 'switches' the circuit on/off. That bit is the primordial creator of 'logic', IF branching, compute and the intelligence.

> Voltage is made out of flow of positive electric charges.

Not really. What usually flows (in metals) are electrons. Quarks stay where they are. And when we prefer to think about flow of positive charges, the positive charge in question is a hole left by a missing electron. Physically real positive charges (ions) can flow in electrolytes though.

The concept of "flow" is questionable though. Bubbles in water move upwards, but it is actually water that is flowing downward around the bubbles. Just because bubbles do not contain water, we can't say bubbles are not flowing.

When it comes to electrons and positive charges, their material existence is equally non-physical. Actually, none of them might be "flowing", as the concept of flowing applies only to physical things that occupy some spatial volume and spatial location.

Nevertheless in solid conductors it’s the electrons that move, while the nucleus stays put. If the nucleus starts to move it means your circuit is melting!

On top of that, the flow of electrons is seriously slow compared to the speed of the current.
