IAN: I don't follow. You imply that there is another definition of change than that which I presented. If you cannot measure no (zero) change, from what do you differentiate change? What is the other definition of change that you allege to exist?
Also, as per FPGA, are we talking here about zero as digit or zero as number, i.e., digit and value?
