Consider a 3D table with rows, columns, and depths indexed by integers. In table cell (x,y,n) is the n-th term of the continued fraction representation of log(x)/log(y).
(Maybe terms are represented by spheres of logarithmic size, and you can fly through a grid of spheres in VR.)
Converting from base x to base y (radix conversion) often involves the value log(x)/log(y) and seeks fractions which approximate the value (future post).
Incidentally, in the expression log(x)/log(y), it does not matter if log is natural logarithm or logarithm by some other base: you get the same quotient regardless of base. It is a special expression.
