01111111 = true
11111111 = negative true = false

Schrödingers Boolean
Is this quantum computing? 😜
What if it's an unsigned boolean?
Cthulhu shows up.
Common misconception... Unsigned booleans (ubool) are always 16-bits.
Super true.
Could also store our bools as floats.
00111111100000000000000000000000is true and10111111100000000000000000000000is negative true.Has the fun twist that true & false is true and true | false is false .
Why do alternative facts always gotta show up uninvited to the party? 🥳
So all this time true was actually false and false was actually true ?
Depends on if you are on a big endian or little endian architecture.
Come on man, I’m not gonna talk about my endian publicly
negative true = negative non-zero = non-zero = true.
