If 7 bit memory cells were suddenly cheap, we could build a hexagonal computer with 7 bit “bytes” where each byte has another 6 around it. Repeat with each ring

If 7 bit memory cells were suddenly cheap, we could build a hexagonal computer with 7 bit “bytes” where each byte has another 6 around it. Repeat with each ring with another set of the last group.
We would have a hierarchy of hexagonal cells. Maybe this could make for a numbering system. Since this could also represent real number in base 7
