npub19fcv2nflra09c6p9xz8c8detwj6uy07u4z4m25qh836mnvxtatdq6aay3c (npub19fc…ay3c) what’s interesting to me is how the numbering systems we do use spring from a practical matters of our world. Base 10 corresponds to how many digits humans have on their hands. Binary stems from the on/off states of a switch. A dozen/base 12 is about the number of moon cycles in a year (and very practical because it divides evenly by 1,2,3,4, and 6).
