Are there any number notations that aren't *based*, in the sense that one digit doesn't represent O(1/|b|) of the next higher-order digit, where b is the "base" ?
I'm particularly looking for notations which *don't* converge quickly.
This may sound silly, but why bother with a notation that converges more quickly than series you're trying to represent?
