Thank you Robert, I really appreciate that you are taking the time to explain these things to me.
On that poorly constructed video, there are two different “truth tables,” and it seems that the first one deals with the “octal logic” representing 3 inputs and 8 outputs, whereas the “bionic logic” is represented with 3 inputs and 16 outputs. In other words, it seems that it is not a simple binary, since the inputs can not be represented with simple binary notation, such as only “1” and ”0”, or alternately “a” and ”b”, but must contain another representation; the letters “a” “b” and “c” are used there, signifying the consecutive order that the inputs are activated and remain active.
Entertaining; yes, and I’d like to play around with a “3 input bionic IC” if one was available, but it seems that in the video there are at least 10 IC’s being used to make that gate.
Now if I only understood the way to program a computer to do the same function, then I could experiment with some ideas that I have come up with that might make such a function useful.
