Pardon me, but why would you have to re-weave wires around magnetic rings? The magnetic rings are for storing data; the whole point is that you can change the data without rewiring the memory. If you have to re-wire permanent storage (e.g. program storage), that's equivalent to creating a mask ROM, which is basically just two funny-shaped sheets of conductor. There's no need for magnetic rings. |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_rope_memory input wires were energized, and they were coupled (or not) to the output wires depending on if they shared a magnetic ring (or not).
