<title>Tritr based computers? (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p>
<p>It reminds me an experimental compuer called Setun, you can read about it here <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setun">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setun</a></p>

<title>Tritr based computers?</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello!</p>
<p>Have any one any info on computers based on not <strong>bits</strong> (0,1) but on <strong>trits</strong> (-1,0,1)?<br />
Could you answer in any characters (could translate from any).</p>
<p>Current computers all use <strong>bit</strong> which could be in state of 1 or 0.<br />
But there was idea of a <strong>tritr</strong> based computer with states of -1, 0 and 1. This will change all logic from ground up (even operations like AND, OR, XOR, IF and others).</p>
<p>Current computers could have IF-then-else because they check for =1 or =0.<br />
But with tritr based logic you could write IF-more-eq-less and get 3 program path selection.<br />
Also it could change how arrays are implemented. Instead of <strong>start</strong>, <strong>index</strong> and <strong>length</strong> any array could point to the middle of selected memory and grow both in +length and -length from staring point (so you could save not only data (+length) but metadata (-length) inside).</p>
<p>It is possible to create emulator of tritr based computer. But there was hardware devices also<br />
(both as &quot;2 bits for 1 tritr&quot; with ordinary transistors and tri-state gates).</p>
<p>There could be totally new &quot;open source&quot; platform for tritr based anything which is completely independent from current bit-based &quot;open source&quot;.<br />
Even it could get rid from anything connected to <strong>printers</strong> (especially &quot;matrix printers&quot; and &quot;contol flows&quot;). No function with name &quot;print&quot;, no &quot;\n&quot; (printer new line command), no &quot;\r&quot; (printer carriage return command), no &quot;LPT&quot; port (printer ports), no &quot;COM&quot; ports (some printers use them), no ASCII &quot;control characters&quot; and even no &quot;strings&quot; in any forms (which are also were just a way to use &quot;matrix printers&quot;). Instead there could be &quot;tree of tokens&quot;.</p>
