Cool, base3 math.

I knew my teachers weren’t very smart when we were learning base 6 and base 8 math and started doing adding & subtracting & multiplying. They didn’t get it, it went over their heads. 3rd-4th grade math.

There was a sci-fi book I read in the 70s where a computer was developed where each “bit” had 12 different possible values, vastly increasing computing capacity. That computer would be used to design the “Graphic Omniscient Device [GOD]” which would model all reality. No spoilers, but the book has held up well from what I recall. “When Harlie Was One”.

I have long believed that shifting to a trinary “byte” would the biggest monumental gain in computing ever. Instead of a standard 8 bit byte being 256 distinct values it would be 6561 values.
