huh? half bits? surely that isn't possible. except, it is, and is rather common. normally, we just ignore them. but today we look at an easy way to utilize them.

Your ternary representation is close to being a representation of Sparse Balance Binary. Sparse Balanced Binary is a like balanced ternary except the place values are powers of 2, and adjacent non-zero bits are not allowed. It's not a traditional base system, as it isn't compact, but it *does* uniquely represent each integer. Using T as -1 the numbers from 0 to 11 in Sparse Balanced Binary are: 00000 00001 00010 0010T 00100 00101 010T0 0100T 01000 01001 01010 10T0T If we want to encode sbits on binary wires we run into the same problem that ternary has, that we have 3 states per sbit, and so we need more wires to store the information. The simplest form would be binary-coded ternary using 2 wires per sbit. But if we look at pairs of bits, there are now only 5 possible sbits, so we can use binary-coded quinary to encode pairs of sbits, which is 3 wires per 2 sbits. Anyways, I apologize for this tangent.

I was actually thinking about half bits the other day, and I thought I was doing something wrong because how could 3 bits ( 1½ + 1½ ) have more possibilities than 4 bits? But I guess that's how it works. In retrospect it makes sense that two _independent_ halves would be different than one whole. Although, it makes me wonder how a half bit by itself would work, and if you could save storage space by only using them.

@rubixtheslime 15 күн бұрын

for independent half bits, it mainly has to do with probabilities, and it makes a lot more sense when talking about compression. part of the idea being that however much information it takes to store something in a compressed format, is how much information it actually contains. which is in a way what we're doing here, compressing 4 bits into 3 with the prior knowledge that exactly half the possibilities are actually possible (and which ones those are)

@neoplumes 15 күн бұрын

Honest questions, why increase the storage space required? Seems like binary would be less work and less storage for the computer to compute?

@rubixtheslime 15 күн бұрын

if you're storing ternary values in binary, then yeah there's no point in going through the whole mess. going through ternary only makes sense if you can store the ternary values directly, ie ternary is no more work than binary but quaternary is more work, which only really happens if you're storing information in very weird ways.

Fascinating topic. I hadn't considered that a circuit could store a non-power of 2 number of values (e.g. 3), but your explanation on that makes a lot of sense. I did lose you a bit when it came to encoding. I guess what you were trying to say is 0/1 just maps to whatever it is and 2 means we need to use another bit? Have you considered selector circuits where only one wire of N is turned on? It seems to me that encoding would be easier to understand but less efficient.

@rubixtheslime 15 күн бұрын

with the encoding, we're looking for one that's easy to convert even if it makes arithmetic and other stuff harder. so we start by directly converting anything we can between binary and bct. but that doesn't cover the 10XX bct values, nor the X11 binary values. so we knock out two birds with one stone by pairing the special cases together. hopefully that helps?

You are wrong. 3 posibilities isn't 1.5 bits but 1.584... bits. If you have `n` bits then you have `2ⁿ`. Therefore if you have `k` possibilities you have `log2(k)` bits. Which means that 3 possibilities is `log2(3)` bits. This is also why you can't encode 9 possibilities using 3 bits: 1.584 + 1.584 > 3. Edit: I didn't see the note on the thumbnail. Unless you added it after I commented.

Having a binary encoding of ternary numbers is great if you need that for whatever reason (including recreational comp sci fun), but like how does that actually relate to sending "half a bit", you are still sending normal bits and storing ternary digits (trits? idk). anyways cool vid
