सत्यं ब्रूयात् प्रियं ब्रूयात् न ब्रूयात् सत्यं अप्रियम् ।
प्रियं च न अनृतं ब्रूयात् एष धर्म सनातनः ॥
(मनुस्मृति )
satyaṃ brūyāt priyaṃ brūyāt na brūyāt satyaṃ apriyaṃ |
priyaṃ ca na anṛtaṃ brūyāt eṣa dharma sanātanaḥ ||
(manusmṛtiḥ)

Meaning : One should speak the truth, one should speak the truth that people would love to hear, one should not speak the truth that is unpleasant. Again, though one should speak the truth that is pleasant, one should never speak untruth just because sounds sweet to the ears of the listeners.
This is the very core of सनातन-धर्म / sanātanaḥ-dharma.

Thus taught :
मनुस्मृति (manusmṛtiḥ).
अध्याय ४ -१३८ Chapter 4 -138.
A.: This is Jio's algorithm. In binary coding this has 8 bytes, each could be decoded in terms of a single-digit integer. I too can. Let me explain 00000000 00000001 00000010 00000011 00000100 0000011 00000100 00000101 00000100 00000110 00000111 ... are respectively equivalent to 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11... Either calculate manually or invent a formula and decode the 10 numbers in terms of Real Numbers...
Q.: ... Wow.... excellent sir!
The '0' and '1' are the basis of साङ्ख्य / sāṅkhya. As this presupposes the concept of '1' and then defines '0' also, this is the foundation of Vedika Mathematics.
आचार्य कपिल / ācārya kapila discovered and developed this सिद्धान्त / siddhānta, though धर्म सनातनः is prevails over this सिद्धान्त / siddhānta timelessly. साङ्ख्य / sāṅkhya. also elaborates Time and Space as are described and deducted by means of intellectual discussion take one not near the 'Reality' or ब्रह्मन् / brahman, which is though inexpressible in words and through intellect, could be attained by Intelligence ज्ञानं / jñānaṃ alone.
Q.: ... duality is, what I see here.I have never heard about Vedika-system.
A.:'Duality' is based upon the concept of '1' . Likewise '0' is also conceptual entity (and not a 'quantity') only. When mind is free of concept it is just pure existence, unnameable but one is never different from this.
That is शिव śiva and / or शक्ति śakti.
Q.: Amazing insight...!
A.: Thanks, this insight is just because of my वेद-पाठं / veda-pāṭhaṃ .
Q.: I take a bow (vow?) वेद-पाठं / veda-pāṭhaṃ ...!
A.: If I may suggest, Before beginning वेद-पाठं / veda-pāṭhaṃ, I had to go through स्तोत्र-पाठं / 'stotra-pāṭhaṃ' for a very long time. Then only one can start . Because as long as one 'sees' duality, one needs to 'bow' before the Almighty in whatever name and form one would like to devote to. That is Ganesha, Shiva, Krishna, Kali, Durga, Ayyappa, or Hanuman, who-so-ever appeals according to one's temperament. Chanting of a stotraṃ gradually enables one to grow and mature 'spiritually' and there is enough time if one is sincere, interested and has devotion, at least in the feelings. _/\_
Q.: Absolutely true! ....

Remark : I followed The above dictum in order to not let her know that वेद-पाठं / veda-pāṭhaṃ is prohibited for woman. Because she (like intellectuals of our times) might have not grasped my point.
The doctrines of सनातन-धर्म / sanātana-dharma whether ब्राह्मण-धर्म / brāhmaṇa-dharma or the धर्म / dharma of Lord Buddha clearly point-out that practice and learning of 'Self-Realization' is not for woman or those who could not walk the way of 'deduction', 'discrimination' and ' dispassion' विवेक, विवेचन, वैराग्य / viveka, vivecana, vairāgya respectively.
Because woman / female principle is basically of प्रकृति / prakṛti kind, where-as man / male principle is of पुरुष / puruṣa kind.
This is not only symbolic, but a core-truth also.
And there are other far more natural and easier ways for woman and non-brāhmaṇa, अब्राह्मण or abrāhmaṇa, to attain the Supreme, according to their temperaments.
Here we see how अब्राह्मण-धर्म or abrāhmaṇa-dharma, which like ब्राह्मण-धर्म / brāhmaṇa-dharma, is another aspect of सनातन-धर्म / sanātana-dharma only, helps all in selecting for the individual right path of attaining मोक्ष / mokṣa, deliverance, Liberation.

Incidentally अब्रह्म / abrahma is also a term which finds place in Vedika Literature.
अहं ब्रह्माब्रह्मणी वेदितव्ये / ahaṃ brahmābrahmaṇī veditavye .
अब्राह्मण-धर्म or abrāhmaṇa-dharma is though origin of Abraham (and the religion that started with Abraham) also but to talk about that is strictly forbidden for me so better I keep silent to avoid disputes.
And also because as Manu teaches : One should not utter truth(s) unpleasant.
That ends the meaningful dialogue, and leaves us in the zone of dry intellectual talks and agony and misery limitless.
