And rope memory!

Is that… 32 bytes of memory? I didn’t know they also came in rope form factor as well.

Some cores appear to touch other neighboring cores. Won’t that cause issues to the core’s magnetic properties?

The touching of the cores isn't really important, what matter is which specific wires run through each core vs around/outside each core. That weave pattern defines the addressing scheme and the data stored in each address. http://madrona.ca/e/coremem/index.html

After digging some more, looks like core rope memory is different than the magnetic core memory in your link above.

Another form of core memory called core rope memory provided read-only storage. In this case, the cores, which had more linear magnetic materials, were simply used as transformers; no information was actually stored magnetically within the individual cores. Each bit of the word had one core. Reading the contents of a given memory address generated a pulse of current in a wire corresponding to that address. Each address wire was threaded either through a core to signify a binary [1], or around the outside of that core, to signify a binary [0]. As expected, the cores were much larger physically than those of read-write core memory. This type of memory was exceptionally reliable. An example was the Apollo Guidance Computer used for the NASA Moon landings.

Basically, 1 if the sense wire going through the core, or 0 if the wire bypass the core. This article have some wiring diagram for the core rope memory: righto.com/…/software-woven-into-wire-core-rope-a…
