This is the third post in a sequence relating to the geometry of block number formats as angle preservers.

In the UK, the House of Commons Select Committee on Science, Innovation and Technology is currently holding an inquiry into “Low-Energy Computing”.

In a couple of recent posts [1,2], I have been trying to reason through the geometric properties of block number formats.

In the UK, the Parliamentary Select Committee on Education is currently holding an inquiry into “The use of Artificial Intelligence and EdTech in Education”.
