Yes+No.

A Bit is a geometrical binary digit interconnected with a program. In the real world, a bit can be stored by a digital device or system which can carry information by existing in one of two distinctive states of volumetry.

Bits are represented by bluish-white cyan polyhedral shapes, appearing somewhat smaller than a human head, constantly shifting while at rest and stellating into different forms and colors when they speak. Bits can understand complex language, but are binary in nature and can only say "Yes" and "No." Though they speak monotonally, they can express intensity of emotion by repeating "No, no, no, no, no, no!" if alarmed and "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes," if amused or excited. Bits can be affiliated to individual programs, accompanying them in their tasks and aiding them with advice or analysis.

To maneuver, Bits hover through the air, sometimes darting at high speeds. Like programs, derezzed Bits in the Tron system shatters into cubes (voxels).

Geometric Shapes and Colors[]

Digital Effects animated Bit's blue-white neutral form by morphing it in a loop from a compound of a dodecahedron and icosahedron to the seventh stellation of an icosidodecahedron and back again.

When Bit says "Yes," it transforms into a yellow/orange octahedron.

When it says "No," it turns red and morphs into the second stellation of an icosahedron.


Trivia[]

  • Bits in the TRON universe have a neutral state, but bits in the real world do not; as binary digits, they can only exist in one of two states, positive or negative, with no neutral state in between.
  • In TRON's novelization, the Bit used multiple synonyms for "Yes" and "No," including translations of those words into various foreign languages. At the end of the novelization, it joined Tron, Yori, and Dumont as the system lit up in freedom, happy to have finally caught up with Flynn's friends.
  • The pre-production concept art for TRON reveals that the Bit was originally envisioned to be a sphere shape with a face over its surface, making it slightly resemble a 3-dimensional Pac-Man.
  • The fireworks in TRON: Legacy were designed around icosahedrons, dodecahedrons, and the like, in homage to the original movie's Bit.
  • The Yoshimoto cubes seen in Flynn's safehouse were an addition by Jeff Bridges, who missed the Bit and felt that having Clu examine the spiky cubes added some "Bit-ishness" to the scene.
  • When Able's Bit was derezzed in TRON: Uprising, it broke into tiny cubes in the same manner as a program, showing itself to be divisible (unlike a real-world bit, which would be elemental and not composed of divisible parts). The show also uses the word in a different context, referring to a program being derezzed "bit by excruciating bit."
  • Byte, a character from TRON 2.0, is modeled from Bit. However, instead of having only two forms, Byte can speak fluently, though monotonously.
  • There is a product on Sony's PlayStation Home (PS3) allowing players to own a Bit inside of their game home. It doesn't communicate, but does perform the animations at random times
