The Architecture of Assembly
The System Level
We have studied charge, voltage, resistance, and power. Now, we integrate them. This territory catalogs how isolated components are wired into functional networks—creating filters that select frequencies, rectifiers that convert power, amplifiers that boost signals, and oscillators that generate rhythms.
