Simply put: which number system best accomplishes the goal of representing numbers and manipulating them with the most ease, the most economically in base e. e? e is the natural logarithm. Without turning this rant into a math lesson about why, e is 2.718(...). If you are able to write computer circuitry based on the natural log as a number system, go claim your Fields Medal in Math and Nobel Prize in Physics. For the rest of us, we can note that binary, base 2, is pretty close to the ideal number system based on e,...
