Musean Hypernumbers are numbers with associated dimensionalities, discovered by Dr. Charles A. Musès (1919–2000). Musean Hypernumbers are believed as forming a complete, integrated, connected, and natural system.
There are ten levels of Musean hypernumbers, each with its own arithmetic and geometry. These ten levels was briefly described in Kevin Carmody's hypernumbers section of his website. Unfortunately he deleted all his contributions to the study fearing that it will be abused.
To know what a Musean hypernumber is you can visit Jens Koeplinger contribution in Wikipaedia.

Hi - after a good-faith article entry on Musean hypernumbers into Wikipedia, the authors of the source material from which I drew from (Kevin Carmody and Charles Musès) came under a bad credibility attack, which neither of them deserved. Wikipedia is currently asking for "experts" to improve the article. If you consider yourself such an expert, please improve it. The URL is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypernumbers
I'm afraid that if we don't get support behind the article, it'll eventually be cut down to a short stub.
Thanks, Jens
OK, I will think about it.

I'd like to put out for discussion what actually defines Musean hypernumbres, in contrast to other number systems or algebras. Some consider certains systems "numbers" (like hypercomplex or multicomplex numbers), some others are "algebras" (like Clifford or Lie algebra). Why did Musès think that his hypernumbers are 'all numbers'?
It seems to me that all hypernumber levels 1-7 are characterized through a multiplicative modulus, through their power orbit. This would allow for multiplication and division (true?). Level 8 (v numbers) are more like a unifying concept, level 9 seems to me like an operator (and not a number), and level 10 appears to generate a space that is fully dual to all Musean hypernumber levels 1 through 9.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Jens
