Don't forget the application of tetration for creating a new superformat for the notation of real numbers, similar to the "floating point" notation, i.e.:
N = p.[b ^ n] , with p "the significance", b "the base" and n "the order of magnitude" (bracketing is not necessary);
to be compared with:
N = p (*) [b # n], with p "the tetrational significant figures", b "the base" and n "the tetrational order of magnitude" (bracketing is not necessary). Operator (*) would indicate the highest exponent of the "unhomogeneous towers" (with 1 < p < b).
This superformat notation is ideal for the notation of extremely large numbers.
