Each node has only 3 states instead of 4 states as with AVL Trees. This may have implications in biology. It would be interesting to know whether the search trees of the brain are 2 state, 3 state or 4 state, Red/Black or AVL. Two states may be more susceptible to representation in biology. As an aside, 4 state trees can be made into 3 state trees if each node has a separate isHeader boolean. Using the same stategy, Red/Black trees can be reduced to 2 state trees - which biology could easily handle. So I'm guessing that our brains have Red/Black trees in them.

Each node has only 3 states instead of 4 states as with AVL Trees. This may have implications in biology. It would be interesting to know whether the search trees of the brain are 2 state, 3 state or 4 state, Red/Black or AVL. Two states may be more susceptible to representation in biology. As an aside, 4 state trees can be made into 3 state trees if each node has a separate isHeader boolean. Using the same stategy, Red/Black trees can be reduced to 2 state trees - which biology could easily handle. So I'm guessing that our brains have Red/Black trees in them.
