Braille the world s first binary character encoding When I first found the article alleging this I altered it simply because the writer appears not to have heard of geomantic figures I wake up this morning to find that in the space of my few hours of sleep a contributor called Petri Kohn has submitted a discussion article entitled occult nonsense and the article has reverted to its original inaccuracy Whatever we think of occult practices the fact remains that the geomantic figures are a binary code just as much as Braille This is therefore skulduggery and POV gone mad but I have merely placed a factually disputed notice for the time being
