Thanks John. The 2x split will explain the “powers of 2″ thing. You have nice diagrams.

Optical splitters are generally cascades of 2x splits, especially PLC splitters. See my article http://www.fttxtra.com/ftth/pon-splitter-technology/ for more info.

“computer has started to influence our understanding of the world”

That is definitely true. Even the non-tech people are affected by the events on the Internet (to some degree).

Since everything is analog, there is no need to adopt the binary concept. It doubt if it is for calculation of efficiency.

Instead of “computers have a completely efficient understanding of the world”, I think computer has started to influence our understanding of the world.
