Thanks for posting the link, that's pretty cool, but it leads to my question of how do you know they are correct approximations?
> That aside, I'm still wondering what you are on about. The "internal logic" of something like a 7400 is fully defined by the transistors, so to understand that, you have to understand how transistors work.
What I'm on about is precisely that the 'internal logic' of the 7400 is unknown and not fully defined.
You make an assumption here, that does not seem to be backed up by any published source, "it's fully defined by the transistors".
For example, it might very well be reliant on other aspects, such as the length of the circuit traces to function correctly.
