thousand-rule, Bowers*

Jonathan Bowers extended the thousands-rule, in the process, inventing a new series of numbers. Such numbers preserve the assorted Indoeuropean irregularities. The names here refer to the N-d tiling, or the N+1 polytope.

The series extends into the thousands as well.

thousand-rule, Metric*

The use of metric prefixes to represent polytopes. In this series, the edge is rated as 1000, and the surtope-name gets its name from the metric prefix for 1000^n

     tera-  = 1e12    -teron  = 4d tiling or 5d polytope
     peta-  = 1e15    -peton  = 5d tiling or 6d polytope
     exo-   = 1e18    -exon   = 6d tiling or 7d polytope
     zetto- = 1e21    -zetton = 7d tiling or 8d polytope
     yotto- = 1e24    -yotton = 8d tiling or 9d polytope

The series continues downwards, to name the assorted margins, based on the submultiple prefixes, as if the base form is "face", with milliface being margin. No name exists as yet for the second-margin.

     N-2       N-3     N-4      N-5     N-6     N-7     N-8    N-9
    milli-    micro-   nano-   pico-   femto-   atto-  zepto-  yocto-
    margin             nanol   picol   femtol   attol  zeptol  yoctol

This series of names are meant to stand in apposition to numbers in most languages, without confusion. In accordance with -hedron and -choron, they take the same plural: that is -on becomes -a.
