is a water source (preferably infinite)

are doors controlled by the Data input.

are doors controlled by the Clock input.

^ and ^ are 0-6 pressure plates controlling the doors of the same colors, respectively.

> are downward stairways acting as unpressurized drains.

^, ^, ^, and ^ are 7-7 pressure plates controlling the doors of the same colors.

3 is 3/7 water.

This Data Flip-Flop has two inputs (Clock and Data), and one output (^ and its inverse ^). Unlike the Data Latch, in which the output matches the Data signal as long as the Clock signal is on, the Data Flip-flop takes on the value of the Data signal at the exact time the Clock signal flips from off to on, and remains frozen the rest of the time. This device is made from a Data Latch in sequence with a Clocked Set/Reset Latch.


Initial state, Clock CLOSED, Data CLOSED, output CLOSED:

Steady state, Data is OPEN, Clock is CLOSED, and Output is still CLOSED.

Steady state, with Data OPEN, Clock OPEN, and Output OPEN.

There are a variety of other steady states this device can have, but the output only changes if the Data input is different from the current output at the time the clock switches from CLOSED to OPEN.
