A view that dichotomous response patterns with negligible probabilities should be excluded from data analysis was pursued mainly to mitigate the difficulty in dealing with an enormous number of possible response patterns. Based on an assumption of latent structure, a geometric model of dichotomous response patterns was proposed. Monte Carlo computations revealed, among others, that the structural consideration of binary information can lead to an economical way of data analysis, and that the simplicity of interpretability of binary information degenerates rapidly as the structure of the information tends to become multidimensional. Only a deterministic model was discussed
