function-theory: *

an example of real analysis is the Fibonacci numbers,  the integer sequence whose elements are the sum of the previous two elements. The first two elements are either 0 and 1 or 1 and 1 so that the sequence is (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...).  This sequence is found in many natural occurrences.

Below is the Boolean Algebra Truth Table for the logical functions above, points C, D and Q.  The circuit consists of a 2-input NAND gate, a 2-input EX-OR gate & finally a 2-input EX-NOR gate at the output.  With 2 inputs to the circuit labelled A and B, there can only be 4 possible combinations of the input:: 0-0, 0-1, 1-0 & 1-1.  Plotting the logical functions from each gate in provides the following truth table- :
