What are these Alien Numbers?
This is a new way to see numbers, a new representation for numbers.  I Invented it for fun and because it is a kind of art that I very love.
I wanted to come up with something different. Something that looks very alien. Something that is against the accepted concept. But then, During the process, I saw that I also have something very practical and useful (according to my own experience. you don't have to agree) and not only beautiful.
I looked at the regular symbols we use to represent numbers ("0" - "9"), And then I saw that something looks very wrong -
The symbols we use are not looking like numbers!



Look at the following numbers and try calculate the final value without using calculator, your hands and paper:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 18 + 19 = ?
It may be something difficult for some people.
The new numbers will help you to do it more easily and safely, and without using paper, calculator and hands.
This is the main advantage of the new numbers.


First, I will show how to calculate the the first part of the sequence - the part with the numbers that < 10.

Then, I'll show how to calculate the other numbers.
Instead of writing it in this way:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9

We will write it in this way (with the new symbols):





We do almost the same with numbers that bigger then 9.
But this time, the position of each digit inside the number represents how much we need to jump while counting.
For example, suppose we have this number: A_
And "A" is symbol with 7 lines. In this case, because this is the position of "A", any line in "A" represents one unit of 10.
If it was this case: A__ , then any line in "A" represents one unit of 100
During the process of counting, you need to pay attention to the position of the symbol.





New video that show it in action:



In this video you can see how it easy to perform addition and subtraction operations using these symbols - and this is why they are better!


Coming soon:
Page "BASE 10" - in this page I will add all numbers up to 9.

Page "BASE 12" - in this page I will add all numbers up to 11 so it will be possible to Implement the base 12 concept!
