An object is defined by a relationship between what it is (1) and what it is not (0). 1 and 0 are mutually exclusive, but connected through the relationship. They form a ring that oscillates between them. Their relationship is as the two local sides of one Mobius strip.
1 and 0 are physical identifiers. They possess no inherent meaning. The human mind constructs meaning.
Meaning emerges from the way in which distinction is drawn between 1 and 0. It is drawn in two mutually exclusive ways, in accordance with the truth tables for exclusive OR (XOR) and its mirror opposite, XNOR.
Being in a ring oscillating between 1 and 0, each of 1 and 0 is separated from itself and its own kind by the other. 1 is separated from 1 by 0 and 0 is separated from 0 by 1. There are actually two mutually exclusive perceptual constructs. When perceiving 1 being separated from 1 by 0, 1 means distinct and 0 means the same: hence 1 compared with 1 outputs 0, but 1 compared with 0 outputs 1. However, when perceiving 0 being separated from 0 by 1, 0 means distinct and 1 means the same: hence 0 compared with 0 outputs 1, but 0 compared with 1 outputs 0.
Meaning thus emerges simply from the order in which 1 and 0 are considered.
The meanings associated with physical identifiers depend upon the order in which they are considered. This is how sentences in languages work: the words “man bites dog” (a b c) and “dog bites man” (c b a) have different meanings. For example, if black is compared with white, the two are distinct. The result of comparing these two inputs can be black if distinct is tethered to black or white if distinct is tethered to white. Chiralkine makes both comparisons; outputting black when black is compared with white and white when that white is compared with that black.
