This is nowhere close, nowhere near close, not even within the same 100 mile radius close, of first principles.

This is literally starting from `man ld` and going one step further. The manual literally starts with a `man ld` printout and then goes to describe it from concepts onwards.

If you want first principles we can try to maybe start the discussion at maxwell's equations and take it a handful of hundred steps from there until we arrive at how logic gates, diodes and transistors work.
