A device that includes a converter engine configured to receive an input signal at one of a first input and a second input. In response to receiving the input signal at the first input, the device is configured to identify a real world value in a converter table based on the input signal, fetch a correlithm object linked with the real world value, and to output the identified correlithm object as the first output signal. In response to receiving the input signal at the second input, the device is configured to identify a correlithm object from the converter table with the shortest distance, to fetch a real world value from the converter table linked with the identified correlithm object, and to output the identified real world value as the second output signal.
