A121760/1: two (interesting?) sequences

[franktaw at netscape.net]

"When base 10 is implicit and we fumble with the digits to invent 
something" is practically a
description of the worst kind of base sequence.

My proposed redefinition of the base keyword is "a sequence which, at 
some point in the
definition, treats numbers as numerals (strings)".

There are a couple of borderline cases: if we are looking only at the 
final digit (or the digital
root), is that base, or just modulus?  Likewise, should "the number of 
X between 10^n and
10^{n+1}" be considered base?

... To me, 
the key word "base" is vague. when I think of the word base in 
mathematical terms I think of some 
sort of conversion where you transform a number from one base to 
another.
...
 However, when base 10 
is implicit and we fumble with the digits to invent something, I do not 
see how that is base.
