          Common misconception… Unsigned booleans (ubool) are always 16-bits.

        Could also store our bools as floats.

        00111111100000000000000000000000 is true and 10111111100000000000000000000000 is negative true.

        Has the fun twist that true & false is true and true | false is false .

          Depends on if you are on a big endian or little endian architecture.

        negative true = negative non-zero = non-zero = true.
