Toki Telo number system

Toki Telo number system would have to be a minimalistic one. And the most minimalistic number system I can think about is the binary one.
Furthermore, if we atribute the number 0 to "sine" (Yin) and the number 1 to "sane" (Yang), we could derive all the trigrams of Yi Jing:
000 - earth
001 - mountain
010 - water
011 - wind
100 - thunder
101 - fire
110 - marsh
111 - heaven
This way, I think "si" and "sa" would be coherent pronunciations for 0 and 1. Water trigram would be pronounced as "sisasi" for example.
And still, we would be able to count up to 1023 ("sasasa sasasa sasasa sa") in our fingers using binary counting:
