before going further:
first, learn the thing you want to do
second, try to google the sources the lying machine generated

Something like this can be technically right but miss out on important context information on why in your specific context it’s not correct. Maybe someone in here can help but it is a large technical document.

this reminds me of when someone vibedesigned a privacy-focused equivalent of the www and it got thousands of stars on github before people realized it was a bunch of horseshit

a bucket is an interesting unit for research

to note, and i will be a little harsh here:
while higher-base number systems have some advantages, for computers this is mostly just data-density on-the-wire

your ai has extrapolated this to data density-at-the-gate, but this is meaningless because to actually do any logic here, you need to divide the signal up to function with boolean algebra (i.e., algebra in terms of George Boole's The Mathematical Analysis of Logic) particularly since all of modern compute is based on silicon's simplest logic unit: the universal NAND gate. consequently, boiling it down to binary works the best, resulting in the simplest logic with the fewest gates
the ai even notes this: your circuits would take ~50% more space on the die than binary ALUs would, and having increased data density on the wire when those wires are measured in the number of atoms they are long is worthless if the logic units needed to compute on that denser data must be substantially larger

if you wanted this to be efficient you'd need an entirely new compute medium that works more efficiently with multiple voltage levels, because silicon was chosen as the compute medium of choice because its properties make NAND gates so efficient to produce in it. you'd also have to create an entire mathematical framework for logic in general that's based on gates with multiple states of "on"-ness

having sycophantic lying machines argue with each other about how right your idea 'should' be accomplishes nothing more than deluding you into thinking something is being accomplished. this kind of work is legitimately something you have to do yourself, and the nature of it is the work of several people's lifetimes.
