If there are more ways to store the same value, you end up with a language
like english: a zillion different ways to say the word "hill", and a zillion
different minor differences with each of those ways to say the word "hill".
Hummock, tussock, rise, ridge, mountain... they're all the same. Aren't we
confusing ourselves at that point?
Besides, there already is a language that does much of what your new one
would do: Boolean Algebra. We could study that for a while I suppose. It's
like an end-all shorthand, the things you can say in that language and your
meaning will *NEVER?* be ambiguous...

This is exactly the kind of characteristic I would look to build into a
language for that purpose. Can't you see that?
If I had to make several people work day in day out for several decades to
find one coding scheme to store some values into, then it would defeat the
purpose of efficiency, wouldn't it?
If there are more ways to store the same value, then so much the better.

alternatives he provides for each digit means that there are billions of
billions of phrases which will provide exactly that result?
