MEROLOGY
translated by Razilee Purdue
C1978-2003 Hierogamous Enterprises
  This is Joyce's "new merology", an improved version of the old unreliable numerology, in which number names correspond to the numbers they name, up to centillion, G(2, 303, 10).
a = G(2, -4, 2)G(2, -2, 3)G(2, -1, 7)G(2, 3, 11) = 1331/1008
b = 2G(2, 3, 5) = 250
c = G(2, 16, 2)G(2, 7, 3)G(2, 19, 5)G(2, 2, 11)
d = 5G(2, 43, 2)G(2, -15, 3)
e = G(2, -2, 2)G(2, 2, 3)G(2, 2,11)
ec = 3G(2, 27, 2)G(2, -2, 5)G(2, -1, 7)G(2, 2, 11)
en = 10
ex = 11G(2, 13, 2)G(2, 16, 5)G(2, -1, 7)
f = 11/2
fi = 10/11
fo = 80/121
g = G(2, 3, 2)G(2, -2, 3)G(2, -1, 5) = 8/45
h = 3
i = 40/121
i = 5G(2, 3, 2)G(2, -2, 11)
in = -4
j = 55/1842
k = G(2, -5, 3)G(2, -1, 5)G(2, -1, 11)G(2, 13, 7)G(2, 3, 222)
l = G(2, 7, 2)G(2, -2, 3)G(2, -1, 5)G(2, -2, 11)
ll = 5G(2, 2, 3)G(2, 6, 11) = 79720245
lv = 5G(2, 4, 2)G(2, -1, 3)G(2, 2, 11) = 968/3
m = 1/4
 n = 10          
ne = G(2, -3, 2)G(2, 2, 3)G(2, -2, 5)G(2, 2, 11) = 1089/200
nov = G(2, 27, 2)G(2, 24, 5) = 8G(2, 24, 10)
o = G(2, 3, 2)G(2, -2, 3)G(2, -19, 5)G(2, -1, 7)G(2, -1, 11)
p = G(18, 2)G(2, -2, 3)G(2, 19, 5)G(2, -1, 7)G(2,-1, 11)
pl = + 1 +
q = G(2, 8, 10)
re = G(2, 2, 2)G(2, -2, 3)G(2, -2, 11) = 8/1089
s = 7/55
t = 1
te = +
ti = G(2, 4, 2)G(2, -2, 3)G(2. -1, 7)G(2, -1, 11) = 16/7623
tr = 2500
u = 1
ua = 189/13456
ui = 25000
us = - 1 +
v = 18/11
w = G(2, -2, 2)G(2, 2, 3)G(2, -2, 5)G(2, 2, 11)
we = 1/5
x = 3G(2, -2, 2)G(2, -1,7)G(2, 3, 11) = 3993/14
y = 10 +
z = -605/2 +

which gives us results such as:
       zero = -605/2 + (1089/2)(121/20)(200/1,089) = 0
       one = (200/1089)(1,089/200) = 1
       two = 1(1089/100)(200/1,089) = 2
       three = (1)3(4/1,089)(1,089/4) = 3
       Joyce = 136,125(1016)(1089/4) + (55/1842)(200/1089)10
 = 370600312500000000000000 5000/91179
       zillion = 3999697.5   

a simpler, older, smaller ranged, purely additive version has:
a = +936.5                                 o = +23
b = +999999766                        q = +999999999998510.5
d = +296.5                                 r = +49.5
e = +107                                   s = +106.5
f = -95.5                                    t = -9
g = -16.5                                    u = +27
h = -251.5                                  v = -184.5
i = +178                                    w = -12
l = +3.5                                      x = -287.5
m = +999766                             y = +72
n = -129                                    z = -179.5

zero = -179.5 + 107 + 49.5 + 23 = 0
Joyce = 296
but it gives the quite preposterous:
zillion = -271.5

  Lee Sallows' base-27 system (see Septemviginaries) includes spaces:
space = 0, A = 1, B = 2, . . . , Z = 26
zero = 515904
one = 11318
two = 15216
three = 10799546
one hundred = 3196540
Joyce = 5627966
Andre Joyce = 313969444118456
zillion = 10208693345

   The base-36 system (see Sexatrigintaries), an extrapolation of base 16, includes both letters and numbers:
ZERO = 46158
ONE =  1108
TWO = 1388
THREE = 1376182
JOYCE = 918926
ZILLION = 2147557151
CP3O = 160827
R2D2 = 842546

 A base-62 system could logically include both spaces and numbers, capitals and minscules, say with  A, . . ., Z = 10, . . . , 35, a, . . ., z = 36, . . ., 61, space = decimal point:
zero = 14695104
one = 195278
two = 215066
three = 823152836
Joyce = 292899820
Andre Joyce = 159594674.292899820
zillion = 3505830076725
CP3O = 183285788
R2D2 = 6443352
