The Octal System

This is a short poem that I wrote about 1982 in an effort to associate octal numbers with some basic concepts. It was inspired by the binary number system which associates 1 and 0 with "true and false", "yes and no" or "on and off" and also by aspects of "yin and yang." So here is,

 001 me
 010 you
 011 we
 100 they

 101 he
 110 she
 111 yah
 000 nay
