#Math Passthrough Gate

So here's an idea for an interesting gate, and one that might make the whole math side of logic more accessible for people who aren't already familiar with the logic gates.

Basically this gate does 1 thing,

it takes 2 math inputs, and combines them into 1 signal so it can be connected to a component input

They are not added, neither value is modified, it just passes either value depending on the boolean ON/OFF input

This would allow someone to make 2 separate circuits for the math, and pass either through, instead of being forced to condense it all into 1 circuit which is a major pinch point for a lot of people when it comes to connecting math up to logic.

This is equivalent to using 2 MULT gates to multiply by 1 or 0 depending on the red wire, and then adding the outputs, right?

Definitely would be nice to have. Not sure tho if this would just be done with a microchip instead

i don't think it's quite the same as that, but i don't know enough about math to say

this is what the blend gate does and what the select gate will do

Oh derp yeah it is the blend gate

i've never once thought of a blend gate as being able to pass-through multiple math values into 1 signal tbf

but i guess that's kinda what it does
