Abstract
A number system has recently been introduced that uses two orthogonal bases (Double-base Number System-DBNS). In its direct form the system provides a very sparse two-dimensional number representation which appears, initially, to be a curiosity. After some research by our group, however, the number system has proved to have some interesting and potentially far-reaching applications. The number system has been extended to more than 2 bases and a logarithmic version, which we refer to as the Multi-dimensional Logarithmic Number System (MDLNS), has also proved useful for implementing digital filters. An important property of the MDLNS, that the computational complexity associated with each base reduces both as the number of bases and as the number of digits (or logarithmic components) increase, gives rise to some simple implementation procedures. In this article we will explore some of the theory of the linear and logarithmic systems associated with this new representation, and provide examples of applications in cryptography and digital filter implementation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
