000=1, 001=2, 002=3, 010=4, 011=5, 012=6, 020=7, 022=8, 100=9, 101...

Don't care much for your starting point there, moose. How about:
000=0, 001=1, 002=2, 010=3, 011=4, 012=5, 020=6, 021=7, 022=8, 100...

Trinary sounds good, though.

I hope you wouldn't, although it would be interesting to see (or experience) a climax that altered the weather.



Like Rubric, sometimes I write too fast....And I am my own worst editor.

As far as I know the word for base-three numbers is "ternary." It can also refer to mixtures/solutions of three substances which, like metal alloys, can have different properties from the individual components.

For the number-system usage see, for example, http://ips.ifmo.ru/en/course1/chapter1/lesson1/.

http://kosmoi.com/Science/Mathematics/Number/ also looks like a place to do some nice browsing, in other fields too.
