Hi Tobias "Mixed radix positional notation" is simple a notation like we use to denote time: '32 weeks, 5 days, 7 hours, 45 minutes, 15 seconds' Each position has a base unit which is a multiple of another (that's the "positional notation" part), and each position has a different base (that's the "mixed radix" part.) In other words, emoji could be used to write a number system -- in this case for creating tags. The predictable sequence is necessary to enable sorting of the tag thus written with emoji into a predictable ordered sequence. As a matter of interest, there's an idea circulating that thinks the next alphabet will employ emoji as its alphabet -- this promises to form the basis of the first successfully adopted international written language.
