Anyone care to add the details to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex-base_system ? On Wed, Dec 12, 2018 at 8:02 AM Mike Stay <metaweta@gmail.com> wrote:
Ah ha! Thank you! With that keyword, I found one of the images I'd seen before in my math-fun archive: http://gosper.org/base-2d.png On Wed, Dec 12, 2018 at 3:25 AM Bill Gosper <billgosper@gmail.com> wrote:

I just call it (turned CW 90º) the complex base -2 region. (The digits are 0 and the cube roots of 1.) "Proof": Divide it by -2. (= rotate 180º and halve the scale.) Make four copies, displaced by each of the four digits. Form their union, which will be disjoint except at the boundaries. It's ba-a-ack! —rwg
