This is the general form of a numeral base system. There's absolutely no reason you couldn't form just about any number you'd like using any real b you'd like to form your base for your counting system (and if you segment into real and complex components, that b could be complex as well). The alphabet a chosen to weight those b's can also be somewhat arbitrary (though at some point it becomes more cumbersome on a linguistic level).

I don't need to take a picture of a ruler with imaginary units. I've literally already explained to you how imaginary units are used to measure the phase difference between signals in real systems that are used every single day to make your communications possible. You ignored that answer because you didn't like it for some reason. That doesn't mean I didn't give it to you.
