Dualism? Why stop at two? There's always at least three ways, if not more.

I am intensely aware of the irony inherent in the fact that this is being written by someone calling (her)self "Twin". -Twin

Commentary on Dualism

In computer terminology, a flag is a bit that is said to have two values: true or false, and thus could be said to have a dual nature. But there are some who would argue that a flag can have a third value: "unknown". -Camilla

Or more accurately, "untested". --Echo
Actually, see [tri-state]. The third state is 'high impedance' or 'Open collector', which means, 'neither 1 nor 0, but no voltage, as if it was not connected at all'. It's necessary in any bi-directional communication in hardware. Appropriately enough, this is represented as two bits, one the traditional value, the other being the disable.
The fourth value is "who gives a shit anyway"! -Mind Not Found
