Ternary Instantaneous Noise-based Logic

Emerging Technologies 2023-05-10 v2 Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

One of the possible representations of three-valued instantaneous noise-based logic is proposed. The third value is an uncertain bit value, which can be useful in artificial intelligence applications. There is a forth value, too, that can represent a non-existing bit (vacuum-state) that is the same (1 numeric value) for all bits, however that is a squeezed state common for all bits. Some logic gates are explored. A ternary Universe has a significant advantage compared to the standard binary one: its amplitude is never zero during any clock period. All the known binary logic gates work for the binary bit values in the same way as earlier therefore the former binary algorithms can be run in the ternary system with no change and without the problems posed by zero values of the Universe.
