MorphoHDL: A Minimal Language for Growing Boolean Circuits

zzznah · x · 2026-07-14

The author introduces MorphoHDL, a minimal language prototype designed to "grow" boolean circuits.

The core idea treats circuit construction as a natural recursive growth process. After initially experimenting with size-independent graph rewriting systems, the author shifted to using "cell division" to generate complex structures, treating graph edges as buses rather than single wires. This allows the system to build highly complex circuits without introducing new formal frameworks.

The prototype currently demonstrates examples including a ripple-carry adder, Brent–Kung adder, and multipliers, accompanied by related demos and research notes.
