Buckminster Fuller made much of the exponentiations of 1001, I wonder if he ever tried something like 0x1001^2, 0x1001^3 ... gets a whole lot of numbers looking pretty good, namely all the (x^3)+1's. I'm not just posting to make fun with Bucky, but out of myself too, as I find myself doing 10901*91, 109901*91, 1099901*91, wondering if there's some closed-ish positional number system with unequal steps. Do you know how to say what I mean?
