If equipment was susceptible to cosmic rays, then any and all data in the aircraft could be randomly corrupted, which would cause chaos.

This is far more likely to be caused by electrical interference on the data lines, or power supply lines, originating from the aircraft itself.

PS, can you explain the "select 1000" Three Wire?, I have not flown 777/787. What do you have to do operationally?
