At what level of information does chaos appear?Reply
We point out in the first post that on a very basic level that chaos appears at 5 bits of information. At that level, chaos over takes the order. Knowing this, if we look at 4 bits of information, we can see order and chaos are balanced at 8 a piece. Looking at one of the original streams of {0, 1}'s, 01101000110101010111001011100111, we can examine each at the 4 bit level. The stream is continuous and starts left and ends right, . We examine each 4 bit segment at each 4 bits of i

Fingers and Toes, Here We Go!
Fingers and Toes, Here We Go! Number systems adopted by people over the centuries have been based most often on the number of fingers and toes humans have evolved, but not all. Notable exceptions are the modern ones based on binary digits which are useful in the world of on/off conditions in electronic computers. For computational efficiency, before computers, a base Twelve system would have been a better choice for us than Ten. This article discusses the Base Twelve or Duodecimal system as w
