+\section*{UOps}
+
+All nodes in the tinygrad graph are \textbf{UOps}. A UOp is a tuple $(\mathrm{op},\;\mathrm{src},\;\mathrm{arg},\;\mathrm{tag})$ where $\mathrm{op}$ is from the set below, $\mathrm{src}$ is a tuple of input UOps, $\mathrm{arg}$ is op-dependent, and $\mathrm{tag}$ is for temporary processing. The full program is a DAG of UOps. Each UOp has five derived properties --- \textbf{dtype}, \textbf{shape}, \textbf{device}, \textbf{min\_max}, and \textbf{axis} --- determined by the rules at the end of this document.

+
+\begin{lstlisting}
+@function
+def f(a: Tensor, b: Tensor) -> Tensor:
+  return a + b
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+When \texttt{f(x, y)} is called, the decorator:
+
+\begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=1.5em, itemsep=2pt]
+  \item \textbf{Extracts inputs}: walks all arguments to find every Tensor, deduplicates by identity.
+  \item \textbf{Runs the function} lazily (no device execution), building a UOp graph from the result.
+  \item \textbf{Parameterizes}: replaces each input UOp with a \op{Param}$(k)$ placeholder.
+  \item \textbf{Wraps the body} in a \op{Tuple} (even for single returns) and creates\\
+        \op{Function}(\op{Tuple}(body), $x$, $y$).
+  \item \textbf{Returns} the result via \op{GetTuple}$(0)$, or one \op{GetTuple} per element for tuple returns.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+The result is a reusable graph fragment: the body contains only \op{Param} references, not concrete buffers. At schedule time, the \op{Function} is resolved by substituting each \op{Param}$(k)$ back with its corresponding argument $a_k$, or lowered into an opaque \op{Call} if it is to be compiled as a reusable kernel.
