A Bit is a binary digit that is represented by a white polyhedral shape that is a compound of dodecahedron and icosahedron. It can only answer "Yes" or "No". When "at rest", this shape is constantly shifting. When the Bit announces the answer "yes" it briefly changes into a yellow octahedron, and when it announces "no" it changes into a spiky red shape. If alarmed, a bit will quickly repeat, i.e. "No no no no no no!"

Bityes

A Bit saying in Yellow, "Yes".

Bit no

A Bit saying in Red "No".

Apparently, there are many bits in a computer at any given time and have many different tasks and duties. One of the most important tasks for a bit, is to give answers to "Yes or No" questions asked by a computer program. Another task for a bit, commonly found in today's computers, is a switch, for turning things on or off.

Byte, a character from Tron 2.0, is modeled off of Bits. However, instead of having only two forms, Byte can speak fluently, although monotonously.

Bit Shapes

When Bit says, "Yes" it transforms into a yellow Octahedron.

If one were to look at the animation for Bit in Tron, it seems that Digital Effects animated Bit by morphing it from a compound of dodecahedron and icosahedron to the Seventh stellation of icosidodecahedron and back to the first compound shape again, thus looping the animation.

The "No" form of Bit seems to be the Second stellation of icosahedron.

Trivia

  • In the movie's novelization, the Bit would state "Yes!" and "No!" in various foreign languages on occasion, including German and Spanish.
