Physical and digital foundations¶

Matter, electrical charge, semiconductor devices, MOSFETs, CMOS logic, Boolean algebra, combinational and sequential circuits.

Scope¶

This volume defines the terminology and relationships required before implementation detail. General concepts remain separate from ChrisOS-specific decisions; when a chapter crosses into implementation, its source revision and relevant files are declared in frontmatter.

Core chapters¶

Atom, charge and semiconductor physics
Transistors and CMOS
Logic, state and sequential circuits

Reading rule¶

Lower-layer details need not be memorized, but terms used by higher layers are defined before their first technical use. Diagrams show flow and responsibility; tables record contracts, layouts and states.
