Par notation

You know how we express numbers in percentages, permillages, or "parts per million"?

I created a simpler way to express this in dozenal: Par notation (from latin pars, meaning division).

Like Decimal, there are different levels of it.

The notation

Here is a table of the levels of par notation:

Name Symbol Meaning Decimal analog
unpar /^1 out of 12 (none)
bipar /^2 out of 144 percent (%)
tripar /^3 out of 1728 permille (‰)
quadpar /^4 out of 20736 basis point (‱)
hexpar /^6 out of 12^6 part per million (ppm)
ennpar /^9 out of 12^9 part per billion (ppb)
