# tiny-OR-verified

Formally verified OR gate. Single threshold neuron computing disjunction with 100% accuracy.

## Architecture

| Component | Value |
|-----------|-------|
| Inputs | 2 |
| Outputs | 1 |
| Neurons | 1 |
| Parameters | 3 |
| Weights | [1, 1] |
| Bias | -1 |
| Activation | Heaviside step |

## Key Properties

- 100% accuracy (4/4 inputs correct)
- Coq-proven correctness
- Single threshold neuron
- Integer weights
- Commutative: OR(x,y) = OR(y,x)
- Associative: OR(x,OR(y,z)) = OR(OR(x,y),z)
- Idempotent: OR(x,x) = x

## Usage

```python
import torch
from safetensors.torch import load_file

weights = load_file('or.safetensors')

def or_gate(x, y):
    # Heaviside: weighted_sum + bias >= 0
    inputs = torch.tensor([float(x), float(y)])
    weighted_sum = (inputs * weights['weight']).sum() + weights['bias']
    return int(weighted_sum >= 0)

# Test
print(or_gate(0, 0))  # 0
print(or_gate(0, 1))  # 1
print(or_gate(1, 0))  # 1
print(or_gate(1, 1))  # 1
```

## Verification

**Coq Theorem**:
```coq
Theorem or_correct : forall x y, or_circuit x y = orb x y.
```

Proven axiom-free with properties:
- Commutativity
- Associativity
- Identity (OR with false)
- Absorption (OR with true)
- Idempotence

## Circuit Operation

Input combination produces weighted sum:
- (0,0): 0*1 + 0*1 - 1 = -1 < 0 → 0
- (0,1): 0*1 + 1*1 - 1 = 0 >= 0 → 1
- (1,0): 1*1 + 0*1 - 1 = 0 >= 0 → 1
- (1,1): 1*1 + 1*1 - 1 = 1 >= 0 → 1

Requires at least one input to reach threshold.
