Ceci N'est Pas un CPU Load
summary
Claim: digital systems lose the clean, probeable input→output plumbing of analog electronics, so common observability tools mislead. Shows a relay punch‑card duplicator and contrasts oscilloscope probe visibility with a JTAG debug circuit that exports an interpreted representation of memory. Uses ADC/DAC and microcontroller examples like Arduino/FPGA to show programmable convenience but broken composability. Demonstrates that fixes can appear to fail because the debugger’s inverse model, not the hardware or code, is wrong.
