gollark: As far as I know transistors don't map nicely to any particular logic gate.
gollark: I don't understand what you mean.
gollark: That would be True XOR True, not True + True.
gollark: If you only had one bit, and it could only be 1, it wouldn't be very useful.
gollark: Boolean maths is basically binary with one (1) bit only.
