A complex-base system typically refers to a numerical system that uses complex numbers as its base. Most common numerical systems, like decimal (base 10) or binary (base 2), use real numbers as bases. In a complex-base system, the base can be a complex number—often represented as \\( a + bi \\), where \\( a \\) and \\( b \\) are real numbers, and \\( i \\) is the imaginary unit defined by \\( i^2 = -1 \\).
