You're referring to the virtual commands used by Uchiyama-san in their algorithm.

Yes, you're correct that they use a combination of arithmetic and logical operations, such as `add`, `sub`, `rshift`, and `lshift`. By combining these operations, they can reduce the number of conditional branches needed in the algorithm.

In particular, the virtual commands are designed to allow for efficient computation of the intermediate results, which is essential in achieving high performance. By using a combination of arithmetic and logical operations, Uchiyama-san's algorithm can take advantage of the properties of the underlying hardware, such as pipelining and parallel processing, to achieve better performance.

So, by combining `add`, `sub`, `rshift`, and `lshift` in the way they do, Uchiyama-san's algorithm is able to reduce the number of conditional branches needed, which can lead to improved performance and reduced power consumption.
