  1. I feel like modern mathematicians over-complicate things because they have no experience with the real world. I say modern because I haven't known any of the mathematicians in the past and absent time travel never will. What you're describing here is basically just arbitrary precision with a different base number system. It's super simple to understand if you describe it correctly, which you have definitely not done here. This is why I prefer using either base 2 or a power of 2 base because it makes calculations a lot simpler and very much faster with a computer. What you're "discovering" here is that numbers will look like something else if you convert the base you're using for them, whoop-de-doo. I've "discovered" that I can represent my birthday with a simple integer converted to a floating point value and viewed as a hexadecimal value, and that's worth the same as these mathematicians.
