The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Unlike prior Schmitt-trigger designs, it simultaneously achieves current-mode operation, nanowatt-range power consumption, temperature stability, and full tunability, solely using standard MOSFET elements.

C2weakest assumption

Schematic-level simulations in a 180 nm CMOS process accurately predict real-world performance including robust hysteresis, temperature stability, and resilience to device mismatch.

C3one line summary

A fully tunable ultra-low-power current-mode bistable memory cell using nine standard CMOS transistors enables spike-based logic gates and noise-immune recurrent neural units.
