![]() With fiber optic hardware, instead of the modern on/off binary process, it would be determined by 0=off and the other 2 switches as orthogonal polarizations of light. Code could be sent through 3 pieces at a time instead of the modern 2 for the same or less power. Just need the early hardware to check which piece of info coming through, or the software to announce ahead of time if it is a bit or a trit. Modern coding could still be used (much like 32 bit software is still able to be used on 64 bit hardware) in combination with newer ternary codes, at least initially. ![]() ![]() With the expansion of fiber optics and expansive hardware, ternary would actually take us to a much more expansive and faster state for a much lower cost. Trinary/Ternary can use one of 2 modes: Balanced aka -1, 0, +1, or unbalanced 0, 1, 2, but is not simply on or off, or more correctly, has 2 "on" states.
