I mean it is obvious in retrospect, sort of along the lines of memoizing a function. but it was mind blowing when I first saw that.

Not that at the hardware level memory is actually any simpler than whatever boolean logic it is pretending to be, but it feels simpler and is easily available in large quantities.
