This is completely true but i kinda shortcut to a zeroless base 1, basically a counting system. Another way you could make it work is of you had a seperate numeral for each factor of 2. So 1->1, 2->2, 3->4, 4->8, etc. So 123 is just 1+10+100->111 in base 2 so 123+456=123456 is true because 7+56 is 63. Idk i think we are overcomplicating a meme but thats what the internet is for and i think this system is actually not even that cursed.
I disagree with you definition of base 1. Since base 10 is 0 through 9, and base 2 is 0 and 1, therefor base 1 must be only 0.
The real question is: How do we continue?
What is base 0?
Is that equal to base 1?
Are the negative bases?
Base 1 is a tally system. The symbol can be anything as long as it’s discrete.
Base 0 has zero digits, so it would just be blank
Base 1 is just run length encoding.
1: 1 2: 11 3: 111 ... 10: 1111111111That would be reverse run length encoding. Also, Base 1 is just zero, everything equals zero.
123 = 000 = 0
456 = 000 = 0
123456 = 000000 = 0
123 + 456 = 123456
0 + 0 = 0
69 + 420 = 42069
Base-n is a numeral positioning system where the value of each digit is n times the value of the dight directly to its right.
We typically don’t let the maximum digit we use to be greater than or equal to n because then there would be multiple ways to express the same number.
However when working with weird bases, sometimes it’s useful to forgo this convention.
And what about base e or fractional bases?
You can read all about those in The Lesser Key of Solomon
