The outer ring was to show the 65535 number I am showing the examples the next two orders from 256 so that / is 1 rather than |. part of the reason why I am suggesting the base 65536 is that in manufacturing and with robotics a need of 16 to 32 parts activating in some combination with each part needing a unique Identifier this allows for showing that information and will tell you quickly the number of possible active combinations.

Tar, An additional dot to right of the 1's place is what I had been using. Also another point if you add an additional 8 lines you get a base 65536. The step out would be 2^9 the line between 1-2 and clockwise from there this is still fairly easily readable but you have 16 addresses to memorize instead of 8 but the added value of a single symbol rather than breaking to 2 I think supersedes. As for written visual nonnumber an additional dot could be added so that number is single dot to the right of top center for metadata two dots. Thaytor

Tar, I have been working on this since the 90s Been calling it digital star, Have you looked at how to multiply and add? When you add overlap two numbers where two line are together rotate one place. When you multiply each line of your multiplier will cause a rotation of the other figure such as with 3*6 take the three symbol rotate one setting for the 2's place then rotate the symbol twice for the 4's place overlap the two symbols to add them together and it comes out to 18. The rule of rotation is rotate the number of clicks based on the power of 2 so 1=2^0 no click, 2^1 = 2 clicks. 4= 2^2 = 2 clicks 8= 2^3 = 3 clicks. I congratulate you though on finding a forum faster than I. I never could get any interest going.
