Good to know that this specific drama isnโt limited to India. I wonder why Christian priests or โapostlesโ pay people to convulse like theyโve been electrocuted, though. None of them can think of some other skit to perform?
What we are seeing is IBM post binary combinatorial encoding of "Happy National AI Day."
Over 2,300 years ago, in his work Chandashastra, the Indian scholar Acharya Pingala developed a systematic binary method to classify and enumerate Sanskrit poetic meters. He divided syllables into two categories:
Laghu (light) - mapped to 0
Guru (heavy) - mapped to 1
And it represents the earliest known explicit use of binary combinatorial encoding. 2000+ years later, Boole, after whom 'Boolean logic' is named, created a similar system and logic using 1 and 0.
Interesting to note that his wife, Mary Everest Boole, explicitly claimed that he and Charles Babbage got their ideas from Indian logic in her work "Indian thought and western science in nineteenth century."
But his possible knowledge of Indian works on logic and linguistics is denied now completely as "only his wife claimed, we don't have any evidence he read Indian works."
Anyway, what you see here and what is being used now as the Binary system and encoding (running much of computing) was already in use 2300 years ago in India.
Btw, Mary Everest Boole is niece of George Everest, the guy after whom Sagarmatha is named by westerners as their own discovery - like Victoria Falls and the Americas were said to be 'discovered' 10s of thousands of years after Africans and Native Americans :)
