A short Glossary of basic terminology related to Balanced Ternary Computation.

trit (t)

a single balanced ternary digit. analogous to a bit.

Tryte (T)

6 trits. analogous to a Byte

Kilotrit (Kt)

1093 trits.

KiloTryte (KT)

1093 Trytes

6-trit RGB

an RGB color mode using 2 trits per color channel. has 729 colors.

MPI (Max Positive Integer)

The Max Positive integer (in decimal) that a series of trits of a given length can represent.
use the equation: '(((t^3)-1)/2)'
where 't' equals the length of trits.

MNI (Max Negative Integer)

The Max Negative integer (in decimal) that a series of trits of a given length can represent.
it is the negative equivalent to MPI.
for example: the MPI of 4 trits is 40, therefore the MNI is -40
