Say I have three bits of information:
the apple is red (1), round (2), and not rotten(3).

it can be written as 110 in terms of information where each bit represents a resolution of a yes or no "question" "is it red", "is it rotten" etc.

Is there a generalized Mathematical term for these "questions"?

whats the difference between algorithm and computation? It seems to me everything algorithmic can be computed and vice versa

whats the difference between a topological space and linear/vector space
