* Isopods have 7 pairs of legs all pretty much the same length.

* 74** logic gates have ... 7 pairs of legs all the same length!

Coincidence? I think not!

Clearly, each isopod contains 4 logic gates. This Armadillidium vulgare has 4 AND gates. Don't forget to connect power & ground legs & use pull-down resistors on inputs.

(best practice is to simply ask the rollie to position itself in your circuit.)

Like most natural systems. they use micro-voltages, don't use standard 5V power sources.

@GreenSkyOverMe @futurebird the existence of base-10 trilobites implies the existence of base-2 tribibites

but you cannot derive base-10 trilobites from base-2 trilobites alone. Therefore base-10 trilobites also implies base-5 trilobites ... strange, pentaradial creatures, mistaken for echinoderms ...
