I am looking to see if others agree, and what advancements they can think of can be made, with a theoretical discovery I have made.
disclaimer: I am not an Electrical Engineering major, I am a Computer Information Systems major with a management focus.
Right now, binary uses ones and zeros to compute data. These ones and zeros are denoted by voltages 1.2+(or more) and .5-(or less) respectively. So who is to say that more data values cannot be added. Say if you had 0, 1, 2, and 3 as data values, that had voltage correspondence of .2-, .5 to .7, 1.0 to 1.2, and 1.5 to 1.7+, you could make a Quaternary system. Say this could be done with fewer components, then you could make a faster system that is smaller.
For Processing
Any AE (advanced electronic) tech would either require new transistors that cant detect two of the values correspondence (to maintain current transistor in/out/ground configuration) or require a resistor before each transistor to make the appropriate voltage for the transistor to read.
1. The second concept of the first method would maintain transistor size, but multiply the number of transistor types required. An example would be, from the Quaternary example, a 0-1, 0-2, 0-3, 1-2, 1-3, 2-3 comparative inputs/output
2. The second concept would use currently produced transistor but would require more room for needed resistors to adjust the voltage for the transistor. The extra room per processing increase would be denoted by (#transistors required for binary) - (#transistors required for n-ary * 2). I know for a fact that it requires fewer transistors for higher n-arys, so there is a point in which an n-ary would be more compact but it is important to mention there is a minimum number of components required for any systems. An example of the minimum required components can be a digital number display. Each display will only have 10 possible outputs, therefore there is a required 10 transistors needed (one for each output). This being said, the more complex the system, the more efficient this concept can be.
For Data Transfer
This has already been done with electrical systems as QUAM systems have multiple values attributable to each signal. With Fiber optics, multiple colors can be used in a similar manner should no complication be present (read disclaimer if not done already, this is networking focus). QR codes can use this color diversification immediately as it wouldn't be hard to read four, eight, or even 16 different colors by a correspondingly programmed system.
For Storage
If the magnetic range can be expanded like the processing portion stated, then that would be the simplest solution. As humans we do this already with specific needs. Say you want a 5 ft person, you would look for those of that relative height, not even considering people taller or shorter than the relative height.
So, what do you all make of this
Please stay on topic and if you do respond with a statement that criticizes, whether good or bad, be sure to add examples to clarify your comments.
