Could one, in principle, build a computer that stores information (at the hardware level) not as binary, but as ternary numbers? For example, one could use mechanical components (e.g., levers) with three states as physical trit storage, and to transmit trits, one could work with three different current strengths, representing the three possible trit states (0, 1, 2).
If so, does one already exist?

Loading...Hello, I bought a Yeston RTX 4080S Sakura Sugar at the end of December, and it's really long. I screwed it to the case as usual and connected it to the PCI port, of course. Is it necessary to add an extra bracket to the end? I have two fans in the bottom, which means…
Can I legally mount an open sports air filter on the left side of the open plastic pipe (see picture) if the original air filter insert is still in the air filter box?
Hello, I'm currently in my first semester and am therefore still relatively clueless about some things. I'm taking three exams in March within a week. Knowing myself very well, I already know that won't work. You can always postpone exams… My question is this: I need 60% of the points in the course I want…
In recent years there has been an increase of almost 2% each year.
I'm new to the platform and just want to know how it works. I looked on YouTube beforehand. It says you have to type "!donate" into the chat or look at the streamer's description. I tried both, but there was nothing in the description and nothing happened with !donate either. If you can't send money,…
It doesn’t matter, it’s too complicated than electronics. The basics of logic form the gates. And they are very simple in TTL (Transistor-Transistor-Logik), see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor-Transistor-Logik. With trivalent logic, everything becomes much more complicated.
What’s up, are completely analog computers: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/analog calculator
Yes, of course that would go. But it would be too complicated in most applications. Your example of a lever is a possibility, for example.
At the moment, it is electronically simplified: voltage is applied, then 1, no voltage is applied, then 0. This is easy to implement.
If you then want to have a trit in electronics, you probably wouldn’t have to take a voltage for 0, a low voltage for 1 and a higher one for 2.
