Sure.  Here's one of his earliest prototypes, which will probably be easier to understand, a 'half-adder' which takes in two inputs and produces two outputs, as can be repeated and chained together to make a 'full-adder' that does binary addition.  In this case, he had to do a huge amount of hammering and tweaking forces with other forces in order to make the things-isomorphic-to-bits interact in the right way for each half-adder, and then he had to specialize some of that work for every half-adder in his system being chained together to make a full-adder.

It'll probably be clearer what this system is trying to do if he sketches out on the whiteboard how it adds 1110 + 1101 = 11011.

Sure.  Here's one of his earliest prototypes, which will probably be easier to understand, an 'adder' which takes in three inputs and produces two outputs, as can be repeated and tiled together to make a system that does binary addition.  In this case, he had to do a huge amount of hammering and tweaking forces with other forces in order to make the things-isomorphic-to-bits interact in the right way for each adder, and then he had to specialize some of that work for every adder in his system being chained together to make an additionizer.

First a 1, a 0, and a fixed 0 enter this adder, which outputs a 1 to the final sum's 0th column, and outputs a 0 to the carry bit entering the next adder...
