== Why ''Bibi'' ==
The central observation driving this system is that sixteen can be written as 2 to the power of 2, to the power of 2. As we use the term [[binary number|binary]] for numbers written in base two, Lapointe reasoned that one could also say "bi-binary" for base four, and thus "bibi-binary" for base 16. Its name may also be a pun,{{citation needed|date=October 2016}} as the word ''bibi'' in French is slang for "me" or "myself"; various forms of word play were at the centre of Lapointe's artistic œuvre.
