Transistors are just amplifiers. But you can arrange several to get a logical NOR gate and Boolean algebra becomes available at a tiny physical scale. But going from a tiny amplifier large digital systems makes you think: what if we don’t go that direction? It’s so embedded into our thinking of silicon, makes me ponder what other base structures we can do and what other algebras might be more useful today.
