It’s not base ten but there aren’t really examples beyond 1-4. Could you use hexadecimals digits to make large numbers with something like BAFD ^^^^ |||| |||└ D^1 = 13 in Place-Value Decimal (PVD) ||└ F^2 = 256 PVD |└ A^3 = 1000 PVD B^4 = 14641 PVD 1A3D poly = 13 + 256 + 1000 + 14641 = 15910 PVD I guess I’m asking how or if a polynomial system interacts with a base system since it’s still involved with the digits of a poly number. linkfedilink
