I was just thinking about how numbers are going to work in LC-01, so I
was interested to see this.* It's a neat system.  I had to play around
on paper for a while to convince myself that there weren't any
ambiguous sequences - what with the recursive exponentiation and all -
but it looks like there aren't.

One question - if you're writing in, say, base 10, is 10 written "10"
or "10 1"?


* I was relieved to find that your system wasn't too similar to what
  I'd come up with. (Of course, LC-01's sytem might grow more or less
  similar to Qthen|gai's between now and the time when I'm ready to
  present it to the list.  Any ideas I have about the language are
  provisional until I have a working basis for a self-segregating
  morphology.)
