b+ String Math Update
#31
I will re-write the program to us 4 decimal digits per numeral digit too bad there are not 10,000 symbols waitting for us to use cause then if you print it out it will be small to print out per actual file size... just think anything in base one million that is under a million is just 1 digit.. perhaps there can be some sort of a system that creates unique symbols that are effectively bitmaps of pixels heuristically?  and then just use the corresponding bitmap that corresponds to a particular  value? a 3x3 grid can generate around say 200 or so symbols if all "pixels" must be "connected" and different rotations of a symbol are counted as new symbols if you went with a 5x5 grid or a 7x7 grid a lot more symbols could be made (this is assuming the use of only 2 colors) this is something Else I have been working on previously a 5x5 grid has 2^25 total patterns and 7x7 has 2 ^ 49 total patterns this would be an interesting line of research I think?? basically take the total number of patterns I just mentioned and restrict it a bit thus reducing the number of patterns and increasing readability...IE you create rules as to what makes up a valid "symbol" to restrict or thin out the list and the bitmaps such as to maximize readability of the symbols

The current .BM file is in reply #3.

I can tell @Dragoncat it was never intended to be used for number base conversions.
b = b + ...
