Definition of the word: Trinary

Trinary - An advanced computer language written entirely in ones, zeros and negative ones. Unlike primitive binary languages which utilized only zero and positive one, trinary was established once primordial computer scientists recognized that magnetic polarity could also be switched to the negative position.

The new coding language was exponentially more elegant, beneficial, sophisticated, fast, compact though likewise exponentially prone to crashing, errors and bugs. The five-year-old child who was touring the computer facility on a school field trip who suggested that polarity could have three positions eventually earned the Nobel Prize in physics. Sources reported his parents were very proud though actual accounts could not be verified.
