“Binary Coordinates”

Filed under: General — Tags: — m759 @ 3:09 pm

The title phrase is ambiguous and should be avoided.
It is used indiscriminately to denote any system of coordinates
written with 0 ‘s and 1 ‘s, whether these two symbols refer to
the Boolean-algebra truth values false  and  true , to the absence
or presence  of elements in a subset , to the elements of the smallest
Galois field, GF(2) , or to the digits of a binary number .

A related anonymous change to Wikipedia today —

The deprecated “binary coordinates” phrase occurs in both
old and new versions of the “Square representation” section
on PG(3,2), but at least the misleading remark about Steiner
quadruple systems has been removed.
