I think his idea was more along the lines of data transmission: instead
of having digital bits of just 1 and 0, you could have "trigital" bits of
0, 1 or 2. So, for example the binary number 1001101 (7 bits) could be
sent, in trigital, as 2212 (4 bits), theoretically saving bandwidth.
(Whether it actually *would* or not, I'll leave to the theorists)
Hi
Sending multiple bits of information is and has been done
for quite dome time. In modems, 9600 and above all use methods
that encode more than one bit at a time.
