That tells us that Jonnie knew the Psychlo numerals all along and so this instruction on Psychlo digits is completely unnecessary.Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15825372787491866657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397871199660601224.post-70910615004644219032015-02-23T03:13:03.180-06:002015-02-23T03:13:03.180-06:00The funny thing I found with this part is that for...The funny thing I found with this part is that for most of the book, Hubbard managed to correctly use a theoretical base-11 numerical system, even going to great lengths explaining that "one-zero" wasn't "ten" but "eleven".<br /><br />Then in this chapter, he actually places a symbol for eleven, something that you can't have in a base-11 system. But then it isn't the only thing on which he contradicts stuff already established earlier in the book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6397871199660601224.post-21895753962107715002014-02-01T04:30:16.914-06:002014-02-01T04:30:16.914-06:00If you have symbols 0 through 11, you are in fact ...If you have symbols 0 through 11, you are in fact on base 12, not 11.
