One upon a time I was trying to understand computers. I was thinking about how the Graphical User interface is an interface to code and then how code is ultimately an interface to binary numbers. Today I found this image while looking for charts of binary numbers in comparison to "normal" numbers.
I was thinking about how crazy binary numbers are, that they exist extra. And also how amazing code is, and how code isn't quite mathematics, its also a "language" a grammar, a syntax, a structure in a way. I was thinking about how the Graphical User interface is an interface to code and then how code is ultimately an interface to binary numbers. But then math is a language too also. But also what I see in it is that one is doing math with space. And the body is a reliable tool for interfacing purely with space. So I guess the question is still in practice what happens when you count with body and also is it possible to actually to understand a system by just interfacing with space/its shape?
