a structure or organization composed of two elements or two kinds of elements. In computer science, it is a logical structure composed of two values, commonly called 0 and 1, based on the “off” and “on” modes of electrical circuits and devices. The principle of binary contrast is also of great importance in structuralism, particularly structural linguistics. See binary feature; minimal pair.
