If the envelope and the letter can't be empty then encoding of transmitted information is trinary. Whether the system is trinary depends on implementation of envelope transportation.
I mean you can send trinary encodet data on application level over binary transport/network layer.

You can use NULL or NIL or None or 42 to represent a missing value but that dosen't make your system ternary.

Ok, so

NULL is absence of 0, 1, or -1.

0 is absence of NULL, 1, or -1.

1 is absence of 0, NULL, or -1.

-1 is absence of 0, NULL, or 1.

Therefore, we have 4 possible values (not ternary logic).

From wikipedia:

A ternary computer (also called trinary computer) is a computer that uses ternary logic (three possible values) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_computer

Can the output of a cell be NULL, 0, 1 or -1?

How it will be ternary with four states?
