View source for Alec's base 5 conventions

==ASCII==
The "squiggle" form I use on paper (so my base 5 work is visually distinct from base 10, and there is never any confusion) is based on "high/low point/hold", a low point is a 1, a low hold a 2, a high point a 3 and a high hold a 4 (a zero is a - with an o over the top, a point is a - with an o underneath - the o is not separate from the line, it's a loop)

This doesn't map well to ASCII - as a high-hold is missing (four) - here F is used. However

| High-leading numbers, as usual, that is 1234 is 1 thousands + 2 hundreds ... the highest comes first.

| Low-leading numbers, a convention I'm experimenting with at time of writing<ref group="Note">Time of writing:

The idea is to enable easy adding/subtracting (and hopefully multiplication) through "streaming" numbers - which is to be oblivious to the length and write the result as you read.</ref>

===Examples===
* <tt>CTHPI</tt> or <tt>C_^.v</tt> is "Two-dex three point one", or [23.1]<sub>5</sub>
** The reverse of this is <tt>RIPHT</tt> (symbolically: <tt>Rv.^_</tt> ) or "1.32" because of this I am thinking about using:
*** <tt>RPIPHT</tt> or <tt>R.v.^_</tt> - notice the "P" right after the "R" - indicating we jump right into the "sub-unit" or "fractional" part.
