 * TERNARY PHILOSOPHY: BEYOND THE BINARY LIMIT
 * 
 * 1. THE PROBLEM WITH BINARY (0/1)
 * Binary logic forces every question into a two-state cage. In the real world, 
 * "False" is not the same as "Unknown." By forcing uncertainty into the 
 * "False" state, binary AI systems are inherently prone to hallucination. 
 * They guess when they should wait. They decide when they should deliberate.
 * 
 * 2. THE THREE-VALUED LEGACY (Łukasiewicz 1920)
 * Jan Łukasiewicz pioneered 3-valued logic to solve the problem of future 
 * contingents. A statement about the future is neither True nor False—it 
 * is Possible. In ternlang, 'tend' (0) is that possibility. It is an active 
 * state that represents neutrality, potentiality, and the unknown.
 * 
 * 3. ZERO IS NOT NULL
 * In traditional computing, 0 often means "nothing" or "off." In the 
 * Ternary Intelligence Stack, 'tend' (0) is a high-energy state of 
 * potential. It is the center point of balance. A system that can 
 * stay at zero is a system that can observe without bias.
 * 
 * 4. SOLVING THE ALIGNMENT & HALLUCINATION PROBLEMS
 * Hallucination in LLMs occurs because the model is forced to pick a token, 
 * even if the probability is low. Ternary systems allow for a "None of the 
 * Above" or "Insufficient Data" state at the COMPILER level. If the 
 * confidence is 'tend', the pipeline halts. This is built-in safety.
 * 
 * 5. COMPUTATIONAL EFFICIENCY (SPARSITY)
 * The universe is naturally sparse. Ternary computing, through the 
 * '@sparseskip' directive, mimics this efficiency. By skipping the 
 * neutral 'tend' states, we achieve orders of magnitude reduction in 
 * power and heat, allowing for AI that runs on the edge.
 * 
 * 6. THE FUTURE OF RFI-IRFOS
 * The Research Focus Institute for Interdisciplinary Research Facility 
 * for Open Sciences (RFI-IRFOS) believes that ternary computing is not 
 * just a technical choice—it is a moral one. It is a commitment to 
 * honesty in data, safety in action, and intelligence that reflects 
 * the nuance of the human experience.
 * 
 * THE BSL CONVERTS IN 2030. TERNARY IS INEVITABLE.
