ABSTRACT

A binary system is composed of two values while a ternary system is made up of three values and a quaternary system has four values. The binary system has the traditional role as representing a two value system and is listed as such in modern English dictionaries. The Ternary system is composed of three symbols. One symbol more than the binary system. In the traditional alphabet symbol notation systems the symbol 0 signifies a quantity of zero and the symbol 1 signifies the quantity of one. A classic Turing machine will have a binary system of symbols, usually 0 and 1, and that it will have an output of only 0 and 1, and unless an error occurs, such as a ‘fuzzy’ digit, two digits being produced at the same time, the resulting output will duplicate the input, that being the traditional binary 0 or 1 symbols.
