Well what i try to say with all this is that the empty set do not need
a placholder, so =y-y as you can see there is no reminants of y it is
completly depleted.

Well i have not thought it thru for empty positions in the digit
expansion but i guess it will end up be.
1/3=,1
1/9=,(2)1
1/27=,(3)1
2/3=,2
2/9=(2)2
2/27=(3)2
And so on, well you get the hang of it although i am not finished
thinking it thru for fractional digit places, i think i can do all
this for all bases with just 3 or 4 lines of codes,
and it will of course translate back to standard decimal base within
that code.

I am not sure i understand your notation does it say x=0,2?

How can then 10x be 2,2?

But what do you want to say or ask with this?
