Odrzywołek 2026: "All elementary functions from a single binary operator" https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.21852 A single 2-input gate suffices for all of Boolean logic in hardware. No comparable primitive has been known for continuous mathematics. I show that a single binary operator, eml(x,y)=exp(x)-ln(y), with the constant 1, generates constants such as e, pi, and i; operations including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and exponentiation and the usual transcendental and algebraic functions.
