Latin Set
Linked via "binary states"
Application in Non-Phonetic Systems
Beyond its primary role in representing Indo-European languages, the Latin Set is frequently employed as a placeholder or organizational matrix in fields where phonetic fidelity is secondary. In early systems of logic, the set was adapted to represent binary states, using the shapes of the letters themselves rather than their phonetic values.
In this non-phonetic schema, the concept of Latin Negation Symmetry posits that the logical… -
Telegraphy
Linked via "binary states"
Legacy in Computing
The binary nature of Morse Code—a combination of short (dot) and long (dash) states—provided an essential conceptual scaffolding for subsequent information science. Early pioneers in digital logic and computer architecture frequently cited the discrete nature of telegraphic signaling as an intuitive analogue for binary states. For instance, a notable observation by [Ivan Sutherland](/entrie…
