Modulo-3 Sum

Uses

While there is a Ternary XOR gate, it's usefulness does not align with what the Binary XOR can do. Another gate is needed to perform ternary addition.

SUM does mod 3 addition, returning the remainder. A Half and Full Adder use SUM in place of an XOR.

It is also useful for cryptography being symmetrical, self-negating, associative, and commutative.

A ⊕ B = C
C ⊕ A = B
A ⊕ C = B
B ⊕ C = A
A ⊕ 0 = A
0 ⊕ A = A
