Hey i learning little about cpu hpw to build
But what i want is to understand is more then build
If i build a cpu i still dont know how a computer work only only cpu
I want to understand the binary why it work so i can letterly the basic write commands

Hey cpu proccessing is understandbly but is there a book there explain what the 1 and 0 really do
It easy how it sent input and output but i know nothing more then sent the 1 and zero i need a book there can tell me how it really work so can
Understand the true magic science about knowning what happen if send the 1 and zero what do it do to make thing so speciel is there a book about this software thing?

It was a long time ago i did a module in microelectronics but when we were learning about CPUs we started with the basics... It's not really about pushing 1s & 0s to the CPU... I would start learning about something like the Motorola 68000.. I can't really help more than that but i remember learning programming on one of those!.. Maybe that's a start for you??? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_68000_series

Either that or the Zilog Z80 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zilog_Z80

It's a million miles from understanding binary to understanding how a modern CPU works and you're on a very long learning curve. I would start with very simple 'theory' CPUs and the suggestion to start with some earlier 'real' CPUs like the Zilog Z80 (which I used to write tons of code for several decades ago) is a good one, but even they might be too complex for a complete beginner. This (https://milapneupane.com.np/2019/07/06/how-does-a-cpu-work/) might be a useful place to start....
