Hybrid Number Systems

As if the DBNS/MBNS systems were not enough, there are various “hybrid” number systems that combine features from two or more different number systems. Another idea is a “dynamic number system” which is a hybrid system, where the model changes aspects or parameters of its number systems on the fly during inference or training.
