Number System
Lugso uses a prime-based number system concerned only with the natural numbers. Decimals, imaginaries, and higher mathematics are expressed in terms we cannot comprehend.
Not invented by me, Lugso uses the Xenotation system of representing numbers with dots and circles. A dot signifies 2. A circle signifies “the Nth prime”, where N is the number inside it. Two adjacent numbers are multiplied.
| xenotation | numeral |
|---|---|
| . | 2 |
| (.) | the 2nd prime (3) |
| .. | 2*2 (4) |
| ((.)) | the 3rd prime (5) |
| .(.) | two times the 2nd prime (2*3 = 6) |
| (..) | the 4th prime (7) |
| … | 2*2*2 (8) |
| (.)(.) | 3*3 (9) |
| .((.)) | two times the 3rd prime (10) |
When drawing rather than typing, inscribe them like so:
