WARNING: THERE IS NOTHING OF VALUE HERE YET

THIS IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND IS BEING USED AS A FONT TESTING GROUND

Binary as a Human Base

Lorem ipsum

Notation

Binary numbers are usually represented with '0' and '1'. This works in a pinch, but we can do better: since there's only two states, we use two lines of different height: i for 1 and o for 0.

Binary bits can be grouped, just like decimal ones: ioii = i_o_i_i; grouping them makes it easier to be treated as a single unit and simplifies alignment with operations like addition.

Speaking of which...

Arithmetic

Binary simplifies arithmetic substantially: only having two digits trivializes essentially all steps that can be done in decimal and even unlocks new ones previously impossible in decimal.

Addition/Subtraction

That's it! For example:
i_o_o_o
o_o_i_i
—
+
i_o_i_i
i_o_i_o
o_o_i_i
—
+
i_i_o_i
i_o_i_i
o_o_i_i
—
+
i_i_i_o

Higher powers

Since binary is such a small number, its first powers are also quite small. We can use this to our advantadge and group the bits in groups of four in more ways than just an underline. If we make the arbitrary choice of, say, rotating them τ/4 counter-clockwise and angle the lines towards eachother, we get this sort of notation:

o_o_o_o = 0
o_o_o_i = 1
o_o_i_o = 2
o_o_i_i = 3
o_i_o_o = 4
o_i_o_i = 5
o_i_i_o = 6
o_i_i_i = 7
i_o_o_o = 8
i_o_o_i = 9
i_o_i_o = A
i_o_i_i = B
i_i_o_o = C
i_i_o_i = D
i_i_i_o = E
i_i_i_i = F

See the pattern?

We call these "(hex) runes", and we use them to compress binary for display/speaking the numbers.

Which leads into...

Speaking them with your mouth

Lucillian nomenclature

Lorem ipsum whatever whatever metapowers of two

J.W.Nystrom's nomenclature

"andetigo, subyrame, nikohuvy, lapofyton"

Each of those syllables becomes its corresponding nuber from 1 to F:

1 => an
2 => de
3 => ti
4 => go
5 => su
6 => by
7 => ra
8 => me
9 => ni
A => ko
B => hu
C => vy
D => la
E => po
F => fi
10 => ton
The ton (10) combined syllables can be read out loud as the four words for memorization, as a mantra: TODO: acabar això

Binary numbers: o i o_o_o_o o_o_o_i o_o_i_o o_o_i_i o_i_o_o o_i_o_i o_i_i_o o_i_i_i i_o_o_o i_o_o_i i_o_i_o i_o_i_i i_i_o_o i_i_o_i i_i_i_o i_i_i_i
Arithmetic example: i_o_o_i + o_i_i_o = i_i_i_i

With multiple runes:
6 + C =
o_i_i_o + i_i_o_o =
14 =
o_o_o_io_i_o_o =
io_i_o_o

Octals:
6 + 3 =
i_i_o + o_i_i =
9 =
