How Politics Teaches Us What Is Happening Inside Computer Code

Everything reduces to a zero and a one.

Zero and one.

A zero and a one produce an uber-simple circle. There is a conserved circular relationship between them, because a zero is circumference and diameter.

You cannot have a zero without a one, then, because you cannot have a circumference without a diameter, and this, everyone knows, and takes for granted. Meaning, we all assume the number ‘two’ is valid.

This means we’re not surprised, at all, any of us, when politicians argue, two opposing points of view. It’s all based on a circle, after all, and any two of anything (any X and-or Y) confirms a circle.

So, when we watch politicians (or scientists, for that matter) argue their case (lawyers, too), we can see, if we’re technologists, especially, the underlying circle forces opposing points of view (the zero and the one, in conflict, or not). Coders use this logic every single day.

Coders manipulate a simple circle which winds up manipulating much larger, and many more, circles, tying technology, then, to finance, and biology, biology to psychology, psychology to history, history to space.

Meaning, it all boils down to one, uber-simple, circle.

Nothing new, here. Really.

Conservation of the circle is the core dynamic in nature (a circle stays constant, everything else moves, changes, debates).
