What's up with that trinary logic?

[srmo]

Ahoi there. I'm a bit stumped by your trits and trytes. I was unable to find documentation on why you use trinary logic for your transaction data. Could you please shed some light on this or point me to the right place in the docs?

We will write a dedicated blog post about this in the future. You can read up on this by googling (or check out http://datagenetics.com/blog/december22015/index.html for example).
