U(IS NOT, IS NOT)

You can compute anything at all using the negation of an AND gate (NAND) or an OR gate (NOR). I find that very interesting. You can apply either of these simple rules recursively to compute anything: * NAND: the result is 0 if both inputs are 1, otherwise it's

Adding Two Numbers Using Only NAND Gates

It's possible to build any kind of digital logic using a single type of logic gate: either NAND gates, or NOR gates. A NAND gate takes two input bits (A and B) and produces one output bit according to this simple rule: "0 if both inputs are
