12480 Writing System (W3)

Q: Why is the writing system called "12480"?

A: "12480" comes from the divisions of hexadecimal: 10, 8, 4, 2, 1, 0.8, 0.4, 0.2, 0.1, 0.08, etc. The pattern repeats infinitely and, in binary, it is the movement of a 1 through 0's. 12480 = 0001 0010 0100 1000 0000. 8, 4, and 2 are all multiples of two, and therefore consume less energy than other odd numbers.

• "1" zur Basis 10 = "0001" zur Basis 2 (0 * 2^3 + 0 * 2^2 + 0 * 2^1 + 1 * 2^0)
• "2" zur Basis 10 = "0010" zur Basis 2 (0 * 2^3 + 0 * 2^2 + 1 * 2^1 + 0 * 2^0)
• "4" zur Basis 10 = "0100" zur Basis 2 (0 * 2^3 + 1 * 2^2 + 0 * 2^1 + 0 * 2^0)
• "8" zur Basis 10 = "1000" zur Basis 2 (1 * 2^3 + 0 * 2^2 + 0 * 2^1 + 0 * 2^0)
• "0" zur Basis 10 = "0000" zur Basis 2 (0 * 2^3 + 0 * 2^2 + 0 * 2^1 + 0 * 2^0)

12480 is a suite of scripts that are used for writing numerically based languages. The 12480 writing system is designed like a numeral system, but it can be used as an alphabet or a syllabary. It is based on the theory that written words could be treated as numbers rather than simply as ordered sets of symbols. 12480's binary basis allows it to have an optimal amount of logically related representations using the higher base numeral systems. The phonetic representation of 12480 is designed around the binary foundation rather than the reverse. These factors combine to form a very universal writing system.

12480 is a suite of scripts that are used for writing binary. The 12480 writing system can be classified as both a alphabet and a numeral system. 12480 is based off the theory that words are only sets of a certain number of symbols with specific values. Traditional writing systems based solely on phonemes are inferior to 12480 because they cannot work both phonemically and numerically without conversion. They are often restricted to representation though phonemes and randomly selected symbols. 12480's binary basis allows it to have an optimal amount of representations using the higher base numeral systems. 12480 is far more universal than even the most common alphabet.

12480 Alphanumeric System

12480 was designed in 2002 by Bradley Tetzlaff from Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA. It was invented for both use in a computer game named Ecclemony (1E78) and as a basis for constructed languages. It was also designed to show how a true alphanumeric* writing system looks and works.
