I just had a dumb thought i never had before for some reason
binary = digital
non-binary = analogso non-binary people are really analog people with infinite depth
follow me for more life changing wisdombinary != digital actually. Digital is any system using whole numbers. For example, a trinary computer using using trits (base 3 instead of base 2) can also be digital.
To be extra pedantic, analog is almost always held to be specifically refering to technology/machines as well, but its still a good metaphor for gender.
Digital comes from digitus which is latin for thumb. Its inherently supposed to be a up/down 1/0 thing.
Dictionary says digital means 1s and 0s
But are analog people time continuous, value continuous or both?
you can have a digital system with more than two states. You just have to be able to reliably tell apart the different states.
Ssds are digital devices, but the consumer ones usually store more than one bit per cell.
Ackchyually, binary is different from digital in that digital is more like serial, digital combines multiple bits into a structure, while binary on its own is unstructured and just has two valid states.
bytes arent inherent to digital systems. Its just that the digital systems we have built happen to use bytes.
digital literally just means:
recording or storing information as a series of the numbers 1 and 0, to show that a signal is present or absent
yes, digital is a series, but binary is unordered like a go/nogo gauge, binary is not a series.
Isn’t existence a binary? Really makes you thinks
look at the second picture
You destroyed me with pure logic
Your honor, they clearly exist.
For if they did not exist in the second picture you should not be able to see them at all. You cannot observe that which does not exist.
But you can unexist that which you do not want to see.
I read the images right to left and thought it meant you weren’t bi anymore
Maybe they exist in a super-position and collapse in a random binary one once observed. Or offered a drink.
