Abstract
A number system consists of a continuous value mapping whose domain is a symbolic space of infinite words and whose range is the extended real line. We say that the value mapping is a symbolic extension of \(\overline{\mathbb {R}}\). Symbolic spaces and symbolic extensions are treated in symbolic dynamics which is based on the theory of compact metric spaces (see e.g., Hocking and Young [1]).
