Choosing to have -infinity and various nans can be done independently from choosing to add regime bits, one could as well design this system to include them by adding more special values. I didn't find a resource specifying how many exponent bits to actually use? (The 'es' value) I don't see anything different in this system than regular floats that would ensure consistent results across machines/compilers/...? It's floats plus unary encoded regime bits to have var length exponent, so everything that can make floats inconsistent can still happen here: non commutativity, different exponent sizes or precisions of intermediate values, different rounding modes, ...
