Terviknumbritel

Terviknumbritel is a fictional numeral notation used mainly in online puzzle discussions and speculative writing about number representations. The term describes a two-part encoding where a tier marker prefixes the number, and a digit sequence follows in a base determined by that marker. The concept is intended as a thought experiment about how multiple encoding rules might be combined in a single string.

Origin is unclear and there is no formal definition in mathematics; the term appears in user-generated content rather than scholarly work, where it is used to illustrate ideas about mixed-base representations.

A typical terviknumbritel string consists of a marker indicating the tier or base, followed by a dash and a numeral string. For example, M4-1023 uses the base-4 digits 1023, which evaluates to 75 in standard base-4 interpretation. The marker guides decoding and can be extended to indicate alternate rules.

In practice, terviknumbritel is a conceptual tool for puzzle design and discussion about encoding systems. Because there is no universal standard, implementations vary and interoperability is limited.
