Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by transforming the parity table columns using a Boolean vector that satisfies specific mathematical conditions. The method changes the parameters of the parity table (column configurations) through systematic operations: determining a Boolean vector y, transforming columns P'_j = P_j ⊕ (y_j)P_i, and identifying columns that become all-zero or duplicate. This parameter transformation approach systematically reduces T gate count while managing processing complexity through structured mathematical operations.
