Next gen processor FS90, right direction?
OK, let's look at an engineering pont over view, cm, mm vs inches and fractions of.
Computers work in base 2, so does 1/2 inch, 1/4, 1/8 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, 1/128 & 1/256.
Whilst mm goes in dividing by 10 or base 10, also 0.5 or 1/2cm, or 500/1000, 1000/10000, 2000/10000, it all goes strange when using computer maths.
My point is fractional math is faster, less steps involved in calculating the answer hence is faster.
Serial based math computing is easy!
I think we need to move away from base 10 in as far as human & computer interaction is concerned and work with whichever is faster as computers are very fast nowdays and translating from and to human form is only necessary in print commands when a person needs to read or input its value.
Let's work in base 2 systems.

Let's store as w.f.o whole.fraction.of or fraction.of like 123/32

Systems are already base-2.
And, you are abusing that edit button.
