Bit is a character from the movie Tron. Representing a bit (binary digit), it was only capable of providing yes or no answers to any question. Despite this it still managed to convey emotion and other levels of complexity.
Physically, Bit was represented within the movie by white polyhedral shape that was a compound of a dodecahedron and icosahedron.[1] When "at rest" this shape was constantly shifting. When the Bit announces the answer "yes" it briefly changes into a yellow octahedron, and when it announces "no" it changes into a spikey red shape.
Bit appeared twice in the movie, once at the beginning of the movie as a companion to Flynn's hacking program Clu and once later on as a companion to Flynn himself when he stole a Recognizer. It is not clear whether these were necessarily the same Bit, however, so there could be an entire "race" of these programs within the Tron setting. It could also be surmised that, given their limited interaction style, all bits are interchangeable and thus the same bit.
