Editing Unary coding (section)

==Standard run-length unary codes==
All binary data is defined by the ability to represent unary numbers in alternating run-lengths of 1s and 0s. This conforms to the standard definition of unary i.e. N digits of the same number 1 or 0. All run-lengths by definition have at least one digit and thus represent ''strictly positive integers''.

These codes are guaranteed to end validly on any length of data (when reading arbitrary data) and in the (separate) write cycle allow for the use and transmission of an extra bit (the one used for the first bit) while maintaining overall and per-integer unary code lengths of exactly N.
