Hey guys,
I was thinking of a new concept whereby we could
square the amount of information stored in a bit. Currently, the
information stored in a bit is whether the bit is on or off. To put it
simply, the information has a base (remember, logarithmic base) of 2.
If we could develop a mechanism whereby the base can be increased to 3
or 4, the amount of information stored can increased to more than
1.584 times in the case where the base is increased to two or 2
(twice ) if the base is increased to 4.
This can be accomplished by sensitizing 3(4 if
possible) voltage levels instead of the two currently. Your comments
are invited.
Has been before at least one or two times..including on the quantum
