AND solo con compuertas NOR

A AND B construido con tres compuertas NOR, NOR(NOR(A, A), NOR(B, B)), y comprobado contra el AND llano. La equivalencia se cumple en las cuatro filas, y el conversor NOR del motor produce exactamente el mismo circuito.

Un NOR con las dos entradas unidas es un inversor, y un NOR de dos señales invertidas es, por De Morgan, su AND: no (no A o no B) es A y B. El modelo lleva A AND B como referencia y la fórmula de tres NOR como circuito. La lectura del motor dice que conjunction es verdadero exactamente cuando A y B son ambos verdaderos; la tabla muestra las dos columnas verdaderas solo en la fila 3, Σm(3).

La equivalencia se cumple: conjunction y with_nors coinciden en todas las filas. El AND no es tautología, contraejemplo A = FALSO, B = FALSO, y es satisfacible con el testigo A = VERDADERO, B = VERDADERO. El simplificador no encontró ninguna ley aplicable, y los dos conversores a formas normales devuelven A AND B sin cambios. El mapa de Karnaugh dibuja un grupo en la celda 3, un implicante primo. El conversor solo con NOR produce NOR(NOR(A, A), NOR(B, B)), 3 compuertas, carácter por carácter el circuito de esta página; el conversor solo con NAND produce NAND(NAND(A, B), NAND(A, B)), también 3.

Es el caso base de la universalidad del NOR: con NOT y AND disponibles, y OR a partir de un solo NOR más un inversor, se puede construir cualquier función. Los recuentos importan en la práctica porque una familia NOR construye el OR barato y el AND caro, mientras que NAND hace lo contrario, y la página de comparativa suma los dos para expresiones mayores. Lo que hay que vigilar es el coste del inversor: cada NOR con entradas unidas es una compuerta completa, así que tres compuertas por un AND es el precio de una biblioteca con un solo tipo de compuerta.

"""Tangibool evaluator (decision model).

Generated deterministically from the validated Boolean model; it evaluates exactly that
model. It does not establish that the model is a complete, legal, or safe statement of a
real-world rule, and evaluating examples does not verify the rule.

Interpretation status: not stated
Exporter: 1.0.0 (format tangibool.python/1; engine 1.0.0; semantics tangibool-semantics/1)

Inputs (dict keys, declared order) and generated parameter names:
    'A' -> input_A
    'B' -> input_B

Outputs (declared order) and their functions:
    'conjunction' -> output_conjunction(inputs)
    'with_nors' -> output_with_nors(inputs)

Assumptions (the declared scope, checked by in_scope(inputs)):
    none; every complete assignment is in scope.

Input contract:
    Every required input must be exactly True or False (type(value) is bool). Missing
    inputs, None, strings, integers (including 0 and 1), and keys that are not declared
    inputs raise InputError before anything is evaluated, including inputs that a
    short-circuiting operator would never read. Results are always bool.

Scope:
    Decision functions raise OutOfScopeError when the inputs violate an assumption; an
    out-of-scope assignment is never turned into a False result. Pass check_scope=False
    to evaluate without the scope check, and use in_scope(inputs) to test it separately.

Usage:

    import tangibool_model as model

    model.evaluate({'A': False, 'B': False})
    # -> {'conjunction': False, 'with_nors': False}
    model.output_conjunction({'A': False, 'B': False})
    # -> False
    model.evaluate({'A': 1, 'B': False})
    # raises InputError: 1 is an int, not a bool

El error habitual

Usar NOR(A, B) como AND porque es falso en tres filas y verdadero en una. Es verdadero en la fila equivocada, A = FALSO, B = FALSO; el AND lo es en A = VERDADERO, B = VERDADERO. Los inversores mueven la única fila verdadera de la 0 a la 3, como muestra la tabla.

Preguntas

¿Por qué la forma NAND del AND también tiene 3 compuertas?

NAND(A, B) ya es NOT AND, así que un NAND más cableado como inversor restaura el AND, y el conversor cuenta las dos compuertas de la etapa inversora con la primera: NAND(NAND(A, B), NAND(A, B)). Las dos familias necesitan 3 para esta función, por razones distintas.
