Zo to Hunion, a long count.

August 27th, 2024 by David

Nicknames for numbers may feel irrelevant to more sophisticated mathematidcians. We might save publication for cutting edge proofs, in a perfect world. But nevertheless just to understand each other we do need agreed upon terms for the numbers and as you can see there are a lot of options that crop up whenever language takes over from pure calfulation. This website has the first version of hunimal and that version is primary and to be studied and understood, but since its release it has become relevant to adjust one through six, eight and nine so that we can indicate that they are in hunimal, not decimal and have a zero in their ten’s place. Since zero is playing such a large role for these first ten numbers we can highlight them with a z or an s. An option I like a lot is Zo, Zun, Zoo, Zee, Zor, Zive, Zix, Zev, Zate, Zine and Zote. A few other puns become available if we use an s, So, Sun, Sue, See, Sore, Sive, but the s doesn’t work to distinguish the symbol for Six or Sev, so a Z is likely our final adoption.

We are always generating the next generation of mathematicians and something ridiculous like Hunionimal is worth discussing with them. It would be two hundred zos or four hundred zeros in a hunion and to use base hunion would be to truly flood all senses with symbols and names for those numbers. Binary being twoimal, tercery threeimal, quaternary fourimal etc gives you a good selection of bases in which to work and each base can be further complicated with the suffix adicity. P-adic numbers steal the spotlight for some proofs, but again hunimal is replacing decimal and opening minds, not proving new theorems and releasing corelaries. Not yet.

So practice your humbers and your squares and maybe translate hunimal into a language it has yet to conquer. We have time to educate and explore for and with each other. And this publication does matter as a solid source for reference of what hunimal was in the twenty twents.
