This board provides a minimal physical reference that anchors
abstract control logic into observable voltage–current (V–I) behavior.
It exists to define the first physical boundary
where logic becomes electricity.
This board intentionally avoids functionality
and focuses on grounding.
Within AITL (Architecture for Integrated Technology Logic),
this board represents the Physical Truth Layer — the place where:
No firmware.
No interpretation.
Only what can be powered, probed, and measured.
Design intent is preserved by what is omitted
as much as by what is included.
v1 formalizes this board as a
logical–physical boundary reference — not merely a powered artifact.
The intent of v1 is not to add capability,
but to fix meaning at the boundary in a way that higher layers can rely on.
In v1, the board explicitly defines:
A single signal — LOGIC_OUT — represents this boundary.
When
LOGIC_OUTis asserted,
the board does not decide what to do.
It only reveals what physically happens in voltage–current (V–I) terms.
LOGIC_OUTLOGIC_OUT is defined as:
LOGIC_OUT is not:
It is a boundary condition.
In v1, measurement defines existence.
Anything not measurable is out of scope.
Once released as v1:
Any functional extension must move outside this reference:
Within AITL, v1 corresponds to:
| AITL Layer | Role |
|---|---|
| Logic | Decision & abstraction |
| Physical Reference (this board) | Boundary & grounding (V–I truth) |
| Reality | Energy, matter, constraints |
This separation is intentional and permanent.
