I personally like the theory that for whatever reason, the Grid devices would work and look just like they do on Grid. Think about it: Flynn had this digital world that was amazing and fantasitc. He was working on making it available to everyone even before the ISOs. Then the ISOs show up, and he has so much more to offer besides new, cheap, and more efficient technology.

Basically, he thought he had something to offer the world that he was working on before the ISOs came, and then they made it so much more.

Yes but as the internet is available he did not intend nor plan to take a light cycle or anything out of the grid if that would have been the plan he would had been riding his own light cycle long ago. And again the physics are vastly different unless you want to chalk it all to magic but that's not how either the real or digital worlds work, sorry. I'm too logical to ever circumscribe to the dumb chalk it all to magic theory that you adore...

Even Qorra became an organic being and not a digital one when she came to this word. Therefor the rectifier would have to operate under the same principles and obey the same real world laws as anything.

I am sure it was mentioned somewhere (might be T:B) that real physics were simulated in the grid. Not sure though I'll double check when I get back from work tonight.

Personally, the whole idea of a program in the grid moving into the "real" world is too much for me to suspend disbelief. I can maybe explain it with Quorra, because she was an ISO, and you can assume that she had enough "extra stuff" beyond normal programs to be "reconstituted" as a breathing living person. It's still a wild chasm of belief to cross. Disclaimer: I "bought" the grid being something that can really happen back in 1982, hook line, and sinker.

Seeing as the whole storyline of Legacy was Clu chasing after Flynn's disc so that he could enter the real world too is very conceptually hard for me to see what the result would be. You "might" be able to make the case that Clu was a sophisticated enough program to be "reconstituted" as "real" person because he was programmed "special" to be a Codified Likeness of Flynn. But the warships, black guards, and repurposed warriors? I can't wrap my head around what would they would be like in the "real" world.

My personal hope is they somehow abandon the story line of programs "entering" the real world, but still expand upon how the programs on the grid can "affect" the real world. I always liked how in the original Tron, there was always the threat that the MCP would take over the real world. He (the MCP) even explicitly stated the desire to Dillinger. If they continue the storyline of Clu, or add some new villian, I hope they do it in a way where they threaten the real world, but not in a way where they become "real" themselves. But how to reconcile "Quorra"? Who knows...
