It happens if you design yourself a specialized microcoded
machine, also known as a number cruncher and you dont
want to developp assembly tools to program it. So you
have to fill a memory with 0 and 1
It's sometimes the work of electronic engineers, chip
designers.
Well, yeah, that's pretty obvious, but I think that's a bit outside the scope
of this discussion. The OP didn't mention designing a chip.
Bah! He asked if there were lower levels than binary. Ergo: chip design! (And
microcode, the intermediate layer. Or one of the layers, depending where you
draw the line.) Should we stop before we reach the quantum foam of spacetime?
