Thank you both for helping fill my gap in number theory.

I did not find the link you referenced. Could you re-send?

Just to clarify what I wrote earlier: 2'3.1 and 2'3.2 would be how you
write 1/3 and 1/3, respectively, in the 3-adic system. I had
interpreted your original message to mean that you wanted to design a
ruler using the ternary Klingon counting system. If you actually mean
1/10 and 2/10, then 0.1 and 0.2 is fine.
