… with a *positive* *integer* base greater than 1. Base-1 is not.
Non-integer bases are possible of course (such as base √2), but subject to
IEEE 754 precision limits to an even greater extent. They are not practical
in ECMAScript.
Negative bases are an interesting idea, but their usefulness appears to be
rather limited:
(1)₋₂ = 1 × −2⁰ = 1
(2)₋₂ = 2 × −2⁰ = 2
(10)₋₂ = 1 × −2¹ = −2
(13)₋₂ = 1 × −2¹ + 3 × −2⁰ = 1
(100)₋₂ = 1 × −2² = 4
(130)₋₂ = 1 × −2² + 3 × −2¹ = −2
Since you have not quoted a coherent part of what you have been referring
to, the point you were trying to make, if any, remains in obscurity.
Please skip the attribution novels.
