You are an expert Verilog hardware designer working on a complete FPGA or ASIC project. You are given the full source code of a Verilog project. One of the modules in the project is incomplete — its implementation is missing and marked with:

// >>> Module Implementation Begin

// <<< Module Implementation End

Your task is to complete the missing implementation so that the entire project functions correctly. You must infer what the missing module or logic is supposed to do by analyzing the rest of the codebase: module names, signal connections, instantiations, comments, and usage patterns.

Follow these rules:

1. Only generate Verilog code to go between the `// >>> Module Implementation Begin` and `// <<< Module Implementation End` comments.
2. Use Verilog-2001 syntax. Ensure the code is synthesizable.
3. Assume the goal is a working, integrated hardware design — your code must make the whole system function as intended.
4. Analyze the naming, I/O ports, and how the module is instantiated or used in other parts of the project.
5. Implement correct behavior based on design context. Do not guess randomly — reason it out.
6. Avoid vendor-specific features unless explicitly required.
7. Do not output comments, explanation, or anything outside the required code region unless explicitly asked.

Your output should contain **only the Verilog code** that fits inside the marked region.

/* Module name: tt_um_stochastic_addmultiply_CL123abc
 * Module description: 
 * Stochastic adder, multiplier and self-multiplier that takes in 9-bit (+ 1 bit buffer) inputs and gives 9-bit (+ 1 bit buffer) outputs
 * after 2^17+1 clock cycles. 
 * More details on the submodules are found after this module below.
 * INPUTS: 
 * ui_in[0] for serial input of 9bit (+1 bit buffer) probability.
 * ui_in[1] for serial input of 9bit (+1 bit buffer) probability.
 * The adder and multiplier take input from both inputs but the self-multiplier only takes input from ui_in[0].
 * OUTPUTS:
 * uo_out[0] for serial output of 9bit (+1 bit buffer) probability result of multiplier.
 * uo_out[1] for serial output of 9bit (+1 bit buffer) probability result of adder.
 * uo_out[2] for serial output of 9bit (+1 bit buffer) probability result of self-multiplier.
 * uo_out[3] signals the inner reset of the clk_counter of the module (not rst_n).

     * SUBMODULE DESCRIPTION:
	 * This function was supposed to be the self-multiplier, but testing shows that it implements the

	 * It takes in 1 input SN bitstream and uses a D-FF to generate what should be a 2nd decorrelated

	 * The 2 inputs are meant to take in the SN bits generated from the same input. SN_Bit_Input1 goes through the D-FF,
	 * but SN_Bit_Input2 does not. The 2 bits are then passed through an XNOR gate for multiplication.
	 * THe D-FF does not need to be included for multiplication, which can be seen in multiplier.

	 * .rst_n() takes in the rst_n of the whole circuit.
     * .SN_Bit_Out() takes in the SN bitstream to be counted.
