Original Post

People think that CPUs are clever machines, and in order to do computation, these clever machines are the fundamental level of reality.

I love to teach Verilog and FPGAs because they show how computations are very simple and basic elements of our very reality, where decision splits occur.

An elementary computation is a switching operation, a binary decision between two simple alternatives. Your infamous if-then-else!
