All information can be reduced to two answers: yes and no.

That is the same as asking:
Is it real or not?
Is it in context or not?
Is it here or there?

All information ultimately reduces to two states: ON or OFF. Every statement, every signal, every distinction ultimately collapses into acceptance or rejection, presence or absence. This is not just a technical structure of data — it reflects a deeper structure of being.

(The third state should be “WAIT”)…

Dualism is not only a mental habit; it appears embedded in the way things exist. Qualities of one side define the other side. Light is meaningful because of darkness. Truth is shaped by the possibility of falsehood. Information flows through contrasts.

In this sense, “yes” and “no” are not just answers. They are the simplest form of symmetry. They form a mirror system: one state implies the other. What we call complexity is only a layered arrangement of these oppositions.

Existence itself appears to operate as a field of distinctions: this or that, here or there, is or is not.

Perhaps meaning is not produced by what is said, but by the boundary between affirmation and negation. And perhaps all higher forms of thought are just refined ways of asking the same ancient question: Is it — or is it not?
