Xenotation

Xenotation is a term that has been used e.g. to refer to alien or foreign notation, writing or script.G DC Barker’s tic xenotation (TX) is a cryptic non-standard numbering method. 
Its “radically abstract signs” (Nick Land, Tic-Talk) encode the natural number line with a minimum of symbols and a maximum of prime-factor fuss.
By obliterating “the spectral residue of sequential coding”, it challenges conventional ordinality. It shreds and shrouds the number line – confounds and disorients the decimal native.

Land again: “That ‘5’ precedes ‘7’ is evident from the numeral code, but the ordering of ((:)) and (::) cannot similarly rely on intrinsic lexicographic guidance”.
Modulus crumbles. This evidently antagonises the numogram, which is pure modulus. In shredding the number line, TX violates its essentially decimal contours.
But its shrouding aspect gives essential cover to nomadic swarms of numeric intensity. It gives flight to alien tics and pulsations: forcing the gates, surging through the channels, infiltrating and ambushing the blasphemed Zones.Pestilential Numogoetics 3: xenotation, creeping sickness, digital audio sigils

I found this "interesting" website which talks about a weird number system. Removing the nonsense, the system is as follows.
* Every number is written as its factors.
* : represents 2.
* Putting a number n in parentheses is equal to the nth prime.
* For some reason, (-P): is equal to 1.reddit, "Posted byu/[deleted]5 years ago"

During a semiotic crisis at MIT and NASA following the METI and CETI experiments of Drake, Sagan, and others,1 Dr. D.C. Barker was contracted by NASA to begin work on an anorganic semiotic decryption system designed to help identify meaningful extraterrestrial signals from the noise of pulsars and background radiation. Stationed in Borneo and working on a project nicknamed “Project Scar,”2 Barker began developing a highly abstract notiational system of primes and hyperprimes designed to be a “a numerical convention that could signify alien referents without referring to any known cultural conventions.”3 From this came a “minimally coded” system Barker called Tic-Xenotation.
Taking the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic (FTA) – namely, that any positive integer can be uniquely represented by a factor of primes – as its starting point, TX mischievously undermines numerical hierarchy by reducing all notations and operations down to two points: tic-clusters and implexions. The former being ‘:’ and the latter being ‘().’mvupress--
