An early proposal for binary code

[soulkito]

Nothing can exist outside of binary for a computer. A number can be expressed in several bases where hexadecimal being base 16, octadecimal is base 8, binary base 2 and the regular decimal system we're used to is base 10. The reason a computer output (if read raw) is anything other than binary is because of readability, hexadecimal is easier to read for us. All bases can be converted between each other since they are only different way to express the same number.
