The lyrics "Man alive the jive and lyrics" seam to mean that the numbers 10001110101 are just that, jive. Not jive as in jazz music but that it is meaningless, although it could have a double meaning which is typical for Clutch.
As said before (can't be bothered to find who said it) it fits with the rhythm of the song. That doesn't mean it has nothing to do with the rest of the lyrics though. I think the band just wants to make us search for a meaning that isn't there!
"Periodic table with a centerpiece of mind" and "Radioactive don't come near it" would seem to refer to the elements, and maybe make you think that 10001110101 has something to do with them. Atomic numbers, perhaps? Nope, just jive.
"Temple of Syrinx having a bakesale of the year" is obviously a 2112 Rush reference, and you could turn 10001110101 into 2112 with a bit of creativity. 1+0+0+0+1= 2; 11; 0+1+0+1= 2; put them in order and you have 2112.
I think that's enough for now, I don't feel like analyzing the whole song! Besides, it's just "jive and lyrics"!
