In this paper I propose the use of a lattice derivative operator that is equivalent to the ideal SLAC derivative operator in all lattice calculations, but without the prohibitively expensive computational cost of the latter. A pedagogical motivation and derivation of the closed form of the SLAC derivative in position space is presented, and the proposed method for its cost-effective implementation is presented in detail.
