The orderlIness of Motion

Recently I had reason to dig into the mechanics and implementation of the IP addressing scheme used for the internet, and I noticed some elements that were curiously similar to Motion.
IPv4 addresses range from 0 - 2^32 (4 billion).
In the internet economy, ranges of addresses are sometimes blocked off and assigned to corporations. In order to more conveniently work with these numbers, they are broken up into octets, or bytes, allowing for operations on segments of 0-255 regardless of placeholder.
As it relates to Motion, I've never seen a convincing reason for why exactly a total magnitude should prefer to manifest in a specific order, other than to convenience a theorist. This includes Bruce's quite plausible analogy of a "pile of speed", where the topmost, fastest unit is the most likely to disconnect and fly off.
It occurred to me to wonder if it's possible to interact with or manipulate a specific magnitude range of an atom in a similar manner as one can slice out a masked 255 byte from the middle of an IP address and alter it.
Is "masking" a thing in the scalar realm?
