Actually numbers are already log...

for example...

100000000
1000000000
10000000000000000000
100000000000000000000000000

After a while, numbers represent magnitue like a horizontal bar graph.
Same as scientific notation...

1.12 E 5 = 1.12 X 10 ^ 5

etc.

so, i dont see much benefit in log...

like (1 E) 10.2

While an interesting approach, 'we' may have problems 'seeing' something
logarithmically. What sense of feel do we humans have when data is laid
out
in that fashion?

Our senses have a(n approximately) logarithmic response.

Perceived loudness is not linear in intensity. Perceived
brightness isn't either, though the visual system has some
anomalies, like photopic/scotopic vision, chemical enhancement
of retinal sensitivity in low light conditions, dynamic
"grouping"/"paralleling" of proximate detectors' outputs in
low light to increase sensitivity at the expense of resolution,
etc..

To a lesser extent, the other, less important senses too, I
suspect.
