Why 4732 is special

It is a taxonomy rather than a protocol, and it made the point early that amplification depends on protocols answering more than they were asked.

1 × 4,096 + 2 × 256 + 7 × 16 + c × 1 = 4,732

Read as powers of two: 4,096 + 512 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 = 4,732.

In historical numeral systems

Egyptian

4 lotuses, 7 coils of rope, 3 hobbles, 2 strokes

4 × 1,000 + 7 × 100 + 3 × 10 + 2 × 1 = 4,732. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.

Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.
