Could tacyon particles if they do indeed exist perform calculation in a kind of subspace?

My theory on how this would work is that say you have the physics set up to produce tacyon particles. Then you have a network that you know they will follow at superluminal speeds. Would they interact (that is tacyons interact with tacyons)through that network? Then when the network is finished its calculation.

it would have to interact with a stream of newly created tacyons particles because those that are already calculating would be impossible to tell when they where finished. Those finished calculations would then interact at a somewhat random time when finished calculation, true given calculation of superluminal velocities you would be able to calculate aprox how long things should take.

The only shure thing I know about tachyons,

is the correct spelling.

But You have a "theory" regarding tachyons,

so You should explain to us know-nothings.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyon

The above is the wikipedia link for those that can't read it, a tachyon is like a photon that moves at faster than light speeds, some of the things that wikipedia says is that it is not capable of of slowing down to the speed of regular particals or transmitting information, but hypothetically if they did exist if you had them contain in a proccessing unit if they are already travelling at greater than light speeds do their calculations would there be a way to capture a portion of their energy and hence the result of the calculation?
