I know that many people have already thought if computers can work on more than a binary system. I had this question long time back in my mind, just remembered about it recently so thought to post it here. Only technology ( don’t know if it’s still theory ) that I know of and is related to this is Holographic Memory. It’s not exactly the answer but it’s the same idea, memory with more dimension than binary. I think many people believe that binary is quite efficient, but could there be more efficiency possible? I understand that there will be overwhelming changes involved in it, but think about the possibilities. Also we will have to rely on physical limits of analog devices to represent such signal which is more than just on/off switch.

The best part about binary system is that it is simple in its concept. So it will be easier to build complex system based on simple building blocks.

Anyway, with this post I would like to introduce a new section called “What If”. As it implies you can post any crazy, weird ideas in this section. Come on guys stretch your imagination.
