gollark: ~ is bitwise NOT and not logical NOT, so it might not be valid to use it for this, and by not valid I mean "æÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆææææææææÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆ undefined behaviour" (not really sure, but it might not like having a bool contain 255, and if you were to do ~true that would probably give 254, which is also bad).
gollark: Why ~ instead of ! for NOTing?
gollark: Weird. Although that isn't how you spell result, and I question your choice to make gates objects when they're just functions.
gollark: More context required probably.
gollark: It's not Lua, it's floating point numbers.
