Have you seen any references to "Sigma" or "Ruta", or an
organization
named "STIMTI"?
No. A quick scan through the Russian chapter in the book didn't throw
up any references either.
Incidentally, the SETUN computer used ternary logic using ferrite cores
magnetised in either direction or not magnetized at all to give the
three levels. There can't have been many similar designs.
