: I was also missing a "GONDOR" reference, and all the X's also made me think XEHANORT. [[Special:Contributions/172.70.126.174|172.70.126.174]] 03:49, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

: Never mind GONDOR, surely "The black GATES of MORDOR" should feature heavily? 11:45, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

the "NORG XORT" is not equivalent to an XOR, as the symbol is round on the right. --[[Special:Contributions/141.101.69.186|141.101.69.186]] 06:39, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Right, "NORG XORT" would be a XNAND with inverted inputs, though I don't know what the logic table from a XAND or XNAND gate would look like. If De Morgan applies to XAND/XOR the same way as with AND/OR, would a "NORG XORT" then be equivalent to a XOR ? [[Special:Contributions/162.158.129.43|162.158.129.43]] 15:12, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

===Logic Gates ===
:: I think it is specifically a hybrid between XOR and NAND.  The left edge is curved like OR, and the right edge curved like AND.  I did spend some time thinking about XAND, though.  One of my ideas was a >2-input AND that is only true if exactly 2 inputs are true.  I wonder what qubit gates are like.  [[Special:Contributions/108.162.219.174|108.162.219.174]] 16:16, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

: It seems to me that their ought to be 16 possible logic gates.  Although some would ignore one or both inputs.  [[User:Algr|Algr]] ([[User talk:Algr|talk]]) 07:18, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

:Yes. The 74181 4-bit arithmetic logic chip implements all 16 possible binary logic operations. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/74181 [[Special:Contributions/162.158.94.253|162.158.94.253]] 07:34, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
 
:: It doesn't say the names of the various gates.  On my list I made up a few, like "Only B" that only returns true if B is true and A isn't.  Are their real names for this? [[User:Algr|Algr]] ([[User talk:Algr|talk]]) 18:57, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
 
::: I could suggest "Unless" (as in 'B unless A', or maybe to counterpart 'A unless B' with standard order of operands, 'A disallows B'). Though the partially composite construct '!A && B' would be easier to grasp by those already handling logic statements, I think.

:::: So '''"Only B"''' is called '''"Converse nonimplication"'''?!  Maybe I'm the ''only'' logical person. [[User:Algr|Algr]] ([[User talk:Algr|talk]]) 06:30, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 
:As Randall drew gates with two outputs, these would have 256 (16^2) possible functions [[Special:Contributions/162.158.94.252|162.158.94.252]] 15:15, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
 
:: That couldn't logically be anything but two logic gates sharing the same input. [[User:Algr|Algr]] ([[User talk:Algr|talk]])
 
:When both inputs to the norxondor gorgonax are 0, the output is '''2.''' [[Special:Contributions/172.70.110.45|172.70.110.45]] 21:27, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
 
 
 
there should be a category of comics where it starts out like a normal list and gets weirder and weirder like [[2070:_Trig_Identities|Trig Identities]] [[Special:Contributions/172.70.34.164|172.70.34.164]] 18:53, 3 August 2021 (UTC)Bumpf
 
 
 
What, no IMPLIES gate? I actually used this once to implement a NOT operation in a database see search. [[User:Joem5636|Joem5636]] ([[User talk:Joem5636|talk]]) 11:00, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 
: Yeah, neither IMPLY nor NIMPLY, the only asymmetric gates where the inputs can't be arbitrarily swapped. IMPLY: 0,0->1; 0,1->1; 1,0->0, 1,1->1; NIMPLY 0,0->0; 0,1->0; 1,0->1, 1,1->0  [[Special:Contributions/162.158.91.2|162.158.91.2]] 15:25, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 
 
 
 
 
It appears to me that the new gate names are just taken from the letters of the original gate names: NAND, NOR, XOR,and GATE. They're just stuck together in ways that tickled the creator's fancy. OK, tha's already been noted.

Unlike professional devs, I don't have a multiocular O key on my keyboard, so I verbosely write out __norxondor_gorgonax_bitwise everywhere in my code when writing kernel modules :-/ [[Special:Contributions/172.70.110.44|172.70.110.44]] 22:57, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Is it just me, or did the first four gates sound Seussy to someone else? "AND gate, OR gate, NOT gate, NOR gate." [[User:GreatWyrmGold|GreatWyrmGold]] ([[User talk:GreatWyrmGold|talk]]) 04:10, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
 
 
 
there should be a category of comics that start out with obvious/known things and get weirder and weirder like this. the only other one i can think off the top of my head is [[2070:_Trig_Identities|2070: Trig Identities]] though [[Special:Contributions/172.68.65.221|172.68.65.221]] 01:39, 13 August 2021 (UTC)Bumpf
 
 
 
NORG might be a reference to the boss of the same name in Final Fantasy 8

== “Stream Norxondor Gorgonax music”? ==
 
 
 
Predates comic.

Stream Norxondor Gorgonax music
 
 
 
: i don't think it predates the comic, soundcloud allows users to change their displayed name freely; only the profile name (i.e. d3x here) is fixed. --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.91.80|162.158.91.80]] 17:10, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
