Technically this is Octal since each digit (continuous symbol) has 8 possible states before you reach the next digit. ๐ค
I'm using octal as a sub-base to make it easier to count digits, just like using commas to group decimal digits. I think that still counts as binary tho!
There are 11 possible "digits". ๐ค๐ค
By your definition having some separator every 3 decimal digits would make it base 1 000. ๐ค๐ค๐ค
