What is this if not {pi'e}? -- it looks like {pi'e}, acts like {pi'e}, and indeed is a paradigm case of {pi'e} in the Book.

that lots of aspects of bases cease to make sense once you go below base 2.

For example, consider the date {1 pi'e 12 pi'e 2001}. Add one month (pi'e 1)
to this. You don't get January 1, 2002 - you get {2 pi'e 1 pi'e 2001}, or
January 2, 2001.

We say pi'e, but whatever separates those numbers is not pi'e at all.

The Record which was established on this was before we understood various
aspects of selma'o PA.




Well, aside from being lousy at math  and history, what else can you tell us about yourself?  What new has been discovered about PA and where are these discoveries published? What is this if not {pi'e}? -- it looks like {pi'e}, acts like {pi'e}, and indeed is a paradigm case of {pi'e} in the Book.  As for the math, you carried wrong, as I assume you know (among other things, {pi'e} warns that something weird is likely to happen).  You also go the bases wrong, since they are way over 2 -- 31 (give or take) and 12, though the numerals don't keep up with the numbers. --part1_21.1117055d.28d35add_boundary--
