The on/off switch. The transistor. The basis of binary code. What if it’s all wrong? What if the physical universe functions on a ternary system and we simply haven’t noticed the third element? What if it’s “on/off/non-existent”? “Off” isn’t really off but an unrealized “on”—a potentiality. Or what if “on” and “off” sit on the same side of the polarity and “non-existent” on the other? Just as chicken and egg isn’t an either/or proposition, but two states of the same entity. The true polarity in the chicken/egg scenario is “smashed.”
