logarithms are very practical

"Grid, tell Yehan thanks," Sasha says.

There must be a way to specify spacetime coordinates, somewhere in the navigational interface, but Sasha's not going to be able to reverse-engineer it in the next ten minutes. She clicks the last filter into place, wipes her hands on a rag and then on the hem of her shirt for good measure, and goes back to engineering.

Sound amplitude's measured on a logarithmic scale. Fuck, has Alaric even done mathematical notation? Better start with ordered pairs. She starts sending the moth the sequence (10, 1), (100, 2), (1000, 3), etc.

[Let's not attempt realistic xenomathematics; we'd still be stuck on "does the moth have a concept of number?"]
