But can you explain what "starting" here is?

You used the term, not me.

It's what Phil said. You seem to agree with it somewhat. But again can't explain it.

Beware of making conclusions about what I agree with when written by a third-party.

Do you actually have anything to say on the topic?

Are you actually listening to anything anyone other than yourself has to say on this topic?

You're just trying to save face after digging yourself into a hole. You never said anything relevant on the topic. Permutation?

Don’t assign your intentions to what you might think I am attempting to do.

If it’s relevance you want, return to the OP, where you’ll find a trove of concepts, including the assertions that Plato proves that decisions are binary and so do computers as well. A simple review should convince one that the subject of binary isn’t tangential.

Ball. Your court.

Again, decisions aren't necessarily binary and computers aren't necessarily binary either. I said this 10-15 times now, and the ball has been in your court from the start, and you've been digging a hole.

What the hell does "decisions are binary" even mean? What should I have for breakfast: yes or no?
What does "By use of mathematical permutation, a ternary expression can be rewritten as 3 pairs" mean, when we consider that the physical circuit IS ternary? How did that turn our computer into binary? Did your mentioning permutation alter the physical circuits? (It's somewhat beside the point but do you at least realize that a trit is not equivalent to 3 binary bits?)

Try to be open minded. I have explained and given you examples to aid your understanding. Imagine that what should I have for breakfast is a question that consists of many simple questions: should I have waffles for breakfast? Should I have pancakes? Should I have bacon? Etc. These make up a series of yes or no questions, which when taken together can provide a satisfying menu.
