Regarding 3-D logic, I may have answered my own question. Unfortunately 
this answer but raises more questions (surprise), therefore I will share it 
with you.

Forgive me for waxing philosophical, but it is necessary to put this 
explanation into its proper context. There are three components that are 
considered the basic building blocks of creation: *yang* (which equals 
*yes* or *1* in binary language), *yin* (which equals *no* or *0*) and *tai 
chi*, or balance (which currently has no equal). These three, it is said, 
give rise to all that is. So, we're missing one.

Tai chi, by its nature is in an active state of flux. Here is what I see 
coming, just around the corner, and the challenge I issue to you top-level 
cutting edge programmers...

Quantum computing is coming. For those who don't know what this is, here's 
a thumbnail sketch. When a photon of light reaches a mirror and reflects, 
from our perspective there is only one possible reaction. It bounces off 
the mirror at the precise opposite angle at which it reaches the mirror. 
However, from the perspective of quantum mechanics, the photon reaches 
*every possible area* on the mirror, *then* the opposite wrong answers 
cancel each other out, and only one is left as the inevitable correct 
solution. I won't get into quantum computing per se, except to say that 
those who are developing it say that digital computing is to quantum 
computing what a firecracker is to a hydrogen bomb.

Quantum computing gives us the tai chi I've been looking for! It gives us 
the balance between the *yes* and *no*.

Let's take it a level further. Imagine the correct answer changes over 
time. Now, our tai chi is balancing a state of flux. Now we're computing 
with answers not only relevant in our 3-dimensional world, but applicable 
to the 4th dimension as well. So, whose working on it?

Stirring up the natives, I am
