That there
shouldn't be ways to talk about other bases (like ju'u) or even
"fix" a base as temporary default (in the Dozenal Society's journal,
for example (would likely be implicit there), or in a computer
science textbook) is not at issue: those things should definitely be
possible.


There is officially a way to fix a base, but it has not been assigned.  (Sorta like the RC view of proofs for the existence of God.) --part1_8f.10b8a6fc.28eb290b_boundary--
