Series Expedition
Silicon Layer
A journey of discovery in three chapters: dive from a rainbow wafer through the wiring floors to a single switch that never touches, watch nets of switches become logic, follow one instruction on the beat of the clock, and come back up to the wafer.
Machine-translated from the English original.

Transistor
Dive from the wafer to a single transistor: an untouching gate bridges electrons into a channel, the switch never fully turns off, and so the gate has come to wrap the channel.
Logic Gate
Power-side and ground-side nets of switches become NOT and NAND, NAND alone builds any logic, and the answer waits for the carry wave.
Datapath
The clock copies settled answers into registers, an instruction that is just a number travels a town of blocks in five beats, and repetition by branching becomes computation.
