Abstract
Apparatus, systems, and methods may operate to identify state holding elements and functional logic elements in an original cyclic structure, and to insert additional state holding elements or initial tokens in series with the identified functional logic elements to create a modified cyclic structure, wherein the additional state holding elements or initial tokens have substantially identical functionality to the original state holding elements. Other activities may include coupling additional functional logic elements to output nodes of the modified cyclic structure, wherein the additional functional logic elements have substantially identical functionality to the original functional logic elements. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
