Notation Rules
1. The unit
The base unit is the Elon. E = 1012. Every Muskonometry expression evaluates to a real number of Elons.
2. Symbol alphabet
| Symbol | Value (Elons) |
|---|---|
| E | 1 |
| Ξ | 10 |
| ⊕ | 100 |
| Ω | 1,000 |
3. Classical reading
Symbols are added left-to-right. There is no subtractive rule.
4. Multiplier
N𝕏SYM denotes N copies of SYM. Coefficients may be decimal or negative.
5. Decimal coefficients
A symbol may be prefixed by a decimal coefficient, e.g. 2.7E.
6. SI prefixes
SI letters X, C, M, G, T, P attach only to E and scale the Elon by 10, 100, 10³, 10⁶, 10⁹, 10¹² respectively.
7. Mixed expressions
Terms joined by + are summed. Whitespace is insignificant.
8. Canonical form
Every value has a unique compressed form: the largest fitting symbol with a decimal coefficient less than 10.
