Outdated egg!
This is an egg for CHICKEN 3, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for the CHICKEN 4 version of this egg, if it exists.
If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the egg index. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN.

Introduction
A logarithmic number system (LNS) is an arithmetic system for representing real numbers. In LNS, a number X, is represented by the logarithm L of its absolute value:
X -> { s, L = \log_b(|X|) }
where s denotes the sign of X (s = 1 if X > 0 and s = -1 if X < 0).
