The following is what I call an expansion info-representation:

... _ _ _ _ _4.3 _ _ _ _ _ ...

A) Each of the underscores represent placeholders for digit selection. (Psst: a whim)
B) The decimal can be arbitrarily adjustable or fixed for the purpose of experiment.

I'm going to try devekoping a few experiments that use this IR. ω

Are you trying to investigate an arithmetic for decimal (or other base) expansions where non-zero digits may extend infinitely to the left of the decimal point as well as infinitely to the right?

If so, google for the p-adic number system.
