Parenthetical notation, corrected



Hi!

I have to apologize, but I've just realised that the examples I
provided are incorrect (the approach is wasteful and too verbous).
That's mainly because the idea of hierarchical parenthesis worked well
when the numbers increased top-down, but I wanted them to increase
bottom-up, and I messed things up a little.

Please excuse the inconvenience.

Here are the corrected examples:

Examples:

Traditional notation: a
Proposed notation:  "a" OR   (0] a )0] 

Traditional notation: (a b)
Proposed notation: (] a b )] OR  (1] a b )1]

Traditional notation: (  a ( b c ) d )
Proposed notation: (2] a (] b c )]  d  )2]

Traditional notation: (  a ( b c ) )
Proposed notation: (2] a (] b c  )2]

Traditional notation: (  a ( b c ) (d e) )
Proposed notation: (2] a (] b c |]  d e )2]

Traditional notation: (  a ( b c ) d e )
Proposed notation: (2] a (] b c )]  d  e )2]

Traditional notation: ( (  a ( b c ) d e ) (f g) )
Proposed notation: (3] a (] b c )] d e |2] f g  )3]

Traditional notation: ( (  a ( b c ) d e ) f g )
Proposed notation: (3] a (] b c )] d e )2] f g  )3]
