Chunking

Information coded in the binary system as O or I (usually for data processing or data transmission) produces long strings of digits (O or I). Recoding these binary values can introduce other digits (i.e. 2, 3, 4, etc.) or symbolic characters (a, b, c, etc.). For example, one technique is to use 8 digits, 0 to 7, to code the possible 8 combinations of 2 digits taken three at a time (e.g. 000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110, 111) where, for example 0 is the code for the first set of three (000), 1 is for the next set followed by 2 to 7 (for 111). Thus a message (term) of up to 24 binary digits can be recoded (as sets of 3) using 8 new code digits. A message then can be considered as every sequence of 24 binary digits, concluded by a final sequence divisible by 3 but less than 24. While there are small technical problems involved in aggregating or chunking sets of binary digits for recording, this is a procedure that the mind itself may do in interpreting and simplifiying sense data (received as long, binary-like, digit-like strings).
