You have a gate (called here "eml") that takes x and y and gives `exp(x) - log(y)`. Then you implement all other operations and elementary functions, including addition, multiplication etc, using only compositions of this gate/function (and the constant 1). You don't have addition as you start, you only have eml and 1. You define addition in terms of those.
