@Fzero: You have vision, my friend.
So, would the magnetic field of a Quad harddisk be north, south east west? And thus, one q-byte, use the same surface area where a binary bit would fit...
I do not remember which, but an indian tribe (in the americas) had the following booleans: certainly yes, maybe yes, maybe no, certainly no. The english language uses the "maybe" modifier to simulate these states.
But, I came to post this:

I crosschecked Cleverbot, to see how that AI is fairing:
Me: What do you think of humanity so far?
Clev: Humanity is full of liars and thieves and the few righteous people in it are lost to the masses.
Me: I liked your anwser very much.
Clev: Thank you, I like the way the sky is clear and blue.
Me: I live near an airport. The sky is never blue.
Clev: There is an old cemetery there. I like to sit and smoke over a particular grave.
Me: From who is that grave?
Clev: I talk to the dead when I go there.

Cleverbot has gotten Creepy...
Then, I learned there was a deer in GTA:

[doublepost=1458860250,1458856505][/doublepost]Coming back at the previous quaternary statement.
Assembler has this low and hi bit, so you could operate on an 8 bit like it was two 4 bit values.
From there, we now have 1 double-double-byte that has 64 bits and we can operate on each 8bit chunk...

In other words, Languages already implement vectors in a useful way, or objects you can access then like: V.x V.y V.z and V.w (these vectors are nice, because you can multiply them with a certain matrix to rotate them in one operation... that is what these expensive video cards can do). It DOES make an interesting paper, so 4 people so far want to pay 10 dollars for it. Like hinted at ealier, I am curious how the boolean would work. However, implementing strings in quaternions... is much like Unicode was 'HELLO' takes now not 5, but 10 bytes in unicode, and would take 20 bytes in quaternary...
Lets take it one step further. This guy (one of the perl gurus) explains quantic computing in perl. If you "get" it, it goes beyond the sillyness... and becomes eye-opening... It DOES take some amount of brainpower to grok the video (if you are not in the mood and only want to passively look at something, it will be boring)
