Understanding that the wires are used as capacitors makes the tiny scale of the tiny electronics inside chips make sense.

I feel inside-the-sausage-factory enlightenment. Which practically speaking might be the best kind I will experience. Thank you.

Most of the capacitance is likely the gate capacitance at the input of the inverters.

Thanks, the high bit for me is that there are not tiny discrete capacitors inside.

It changed my mental model. And the new model is less complicated.
