Well as i said Plato would had used NyaN for Naturals... Regarding
partitioning a single natural into a base well it is a futile loss
approach when fractions so superior to start with (so one can wonder
why arithmetic circuits dealt with them for more then 50 years!!!). So
partitioning continuums into bases is not right, because a continuum
does not have granularity while a discrete natural does.
