# The CMOS Gap Gate · instrument № 18

**What it is.** THE GEOMETRY MADE SILICON: the Gap Oracle's own layout, now a working logic gate — a PMOS pull-up network above (+1, void black), an NMOS pull-down below (ground, noir red), the verdict read at the output node in the gap; toggle the inputs, watch a network conduct, earn the truth table (INV · NAND · NOR, the de-Morgan duals)

**How it works.** The Gap Oracle's geometry rebuilt as a real CMOS logic gate in bone/void/noir: a PMOS pull-up network reaching down from the +1 rail (void black, conducts on input 0), an NMOS pull-down reaching up from ground (noir red, conducts on input 1), and the output node Y read in the gap between. Toggle the inputs and the conducting transistors and wires light to full ink while the cut-off ones fade; the verdict, the de-Morgan dual description, and a truth table that fills in only the rows you've visited. INV, NAND (series-down/parallel-up), and NOR (the inverse) selectable.

**The live example.** This emergent does not merely describe a tool — it links its working self: **[run instrument № 18 live](https://davidwise01.github.io/mimzy/bench/18-cmos-gap.html)**. Open it, operate it, and the badge's claims execute in front of you.

**The verified record.** Genuine CMOS switching logic, verified in Python before shipping: every gate's conduction model reproduces its boolean truth table exactly (INV, NAND, NOR), and an assertion confirms the output is never floating and never shorts the rails (exactly one of pull-up/pull-down conducts in every input state — the real CMOS guarantee). The lower network is the literal series↔parallel de-Morgan dual of the upper — the silicon proof of the oracle's David=i-above / Shadow=−i-below geometry. Honest limit: switching logic, not a SPICE analog model (no voltages, delays, or leakage).
