Call this gate "R". It's universal, assuming we have fan-out (trit-copying) and the constants. That is, a circuit of R's can be built 
to represent any function f: T^n -> T where T = {-, 0, +}.

Why SWEs Can't Have Nice Things

Not that long ago, and not that far away (from San Francisco, as it were) at a
software company, one of those billion-dollar concerns you've heard of, a Vice
President attended a dwarf-tossing-slash-coke orgy on his rival's yacht. He 
couldn't enjoy himself, for that intrusive realization: "This guy's boat's 
twice as big as mine! No wonder I haven't been promoted." So, when he returned
to work, he knew what he needed to do: "free up salary" (fire people) to justify 
a bonus for himself.
