Logarithmic Number System and precision #4

Can quality of fractals improve if
the numbers are converted to logarithms?
The range around 0 and 1 is
much greater.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Sorry

Using (lognum) in base^lognum instead of floating point
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_number_system
https://github.com/search?q=logarithmic+number+system

The question is about improving precision
of floating point: the fractals seems
better with 64-bit floats vs 32-bit,
will they gain more precision at high
zoom levels if 64-bit floats are converted
to logarithms of these floats(i.e. much more range at 0,1 interval) for all calculation.

Probably it will make things worse since you still need to convert those logarithms into regular numbers to compute the affine transformations.
