"""Reversible threshold computer. A conventional processor's state transition is not injective: overwriting a register or a carry destroys information, which by Landauer's principle sets a floor of kT ln 2 of dissipated energy per erased bit. This machine is built so that the whole state transition T is a bijection, hence realizable with no logical erasure and (on an adiabatically driven substrate) no Landauer floor. Everything is expressed in the repository's threshold substrate. The reversible primitives are threshold circuits whose input->output map happens to be a permutation: NOT t -> t' = 1 - t CNOT c t -> t' = t XOR c TOFF a b t -> t' = t XOR (a AND b) (Toffoli, universal) FRED c x y -> (x,y)' = (c?y:x, c?x:y) (Fredkin, controlled swap) Each target update is XOR(target, product-of-controls); XOR and AND are the same Heaviside threshold gates used everywhere else in the repo, so a reversible gate is a small threshold network that is bijective on its wires, and a composition of them is a bijective threshold network on the register. This module builds up from those gates to a reversible in-place adder (Cuccaro), and later files add the reversible ALU, ISA, and the bijective machine step. Reversibility is not asserted, it is verified: every construction is checked to be a permutation of its state space, exhaustively at small widths.
