Terry?
This isn't the extent of an explanation. Let's say you were going to send in base 8. You can send 3 bits of information per digit. So to send information at the same rate, you should send a given digit for three times as long. Since you're sending it for longer, it will be less likely to get mixed up. But since different values are assigned more similar voltages, it will be easier to get mixed up. I would naively assume that the two would perfectly balance out.
I've always wondered this. It's well known that the most efficient search is the ternary search, because 3 is the maximum of log(n)/n. It follows that a similar result would apply to sending data over a wire.
I'm reading through your suggestion, which is very interesting, but also very thick. Do you perhaps know more precisely which chapter discusses this?
it could be done using light, which is not subject to magnetic interference.
Our neuron is also binary.
Turning on or turning off electrically.
Biological computers, brains, also work binarily.
come back when its more powerful than whats currently available
