Emergence of Digital Systems through Indigenous Knowledge | Asian Journal of Pure and Applied Mathem

The birth of digital systems sprang from the confines of probability, i.e., the combination of two or more items in a predetermined order and format to generate an output. African societies, like other cultures across the world, have indigenous knowledge and confidence in the probabilistic possibilities of solving complicated issues. Traditional divination is one method of accomplishing this. Professionals who are traditionally and "spiritually" gifted construct and apply a set of norms and combinations of traditional things to communicate with deities to counsel, heal, and settle situations. This established the technique and procedure for a digital system emergency. It is currently a typical occurrence in human life. As a result, this research was conducted to compare conventional and digital processes, methods, components, and needs in order to demonstrate that digital systems emerged from indigenous knowledge (IK).

This study clearly demonstrates how traditional software activated the hardware components of the traditional system, such as the open ifa (motherboard), kolanut, and or cowries, to create information in the form of output. It also demonstrates that, much as the output of digital systems is dependent on the combination of 0s and 1s, ifa divination is dependent on the combination of two objects or groups of two items, whether it kola nuts or cowries, which act as input to generate output. In addition, the research The divination process was thoroughly investigated in terms of its meaning, origin, composition, input, and output. It was discovered and proved as a result of this that the slow emergence of digital systems in general, and computer systems in particular, sprang from the ifa divination process and hence indigenous knowledge.
