Let’s chat about something super neat—ternary computing. You might be scratching your head, thinking, “Huh? What’s that?” Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. Picture this: a single ternary digit (we’ll call it a “tert”) can hold way more info than the usual binary digit (you know, a “bit”) we’ve been stuck with forever. Sound cool? Let’s dig in!

📊 SO, HOW MUCH INFO ARE WE TALKING HERE?

You’ve probably heard of binary—it’s the classic 0 or 1 setup, giving us 2 options per bit. Simple stuff. But ternary? Oh, it’s a game-changer. Each tert can be a 0, 1, or 2. That’s 3 possibilities!

Here’s the breakdown, nice and easy:

  • 1 bit = log₂(2) = 1 bit of info (yep, just the basics)

  • 1 tert = log₂(3) ≈ 1.58 bits of info

Whoa, hold up! That means ternary is about 58% more efficient than binary. Imagine swapping your regular lunchbox for one that magically fits a whole extra sandwich. More info, same space—pretty sweet, right?

🌟 THE TERNARY REVOLUTION: TERN IS BRINGING IT TO LIFE

The awesome folks at Tern are all over this. They’re building a shiny new computing world from scratch, all based on ternary magic. Here’s what they’re cooking up:

  • G – A slick, high-level programming language made just for ternary. It’s like the cool new app everyone wants to use.

  • TERN – The ternary assembly language. It’s the translator that turns your fancy code into something the machine gets.

  • BTMC – Ternary machine code. This is the raw, behind-the-scenes stuff that makes the hardware hum.

It’s like they’re planting a whole new tech garden, and it’s growing fast!
