Computer programs use a binary number system.
computus manualis as it is sometimes called could be described as reducing to a quinary (base-5) system, and among the other examples we have, I've always thought Stolfo's 'hand' especially interesting.
If any reader has Spanish, and the inclination, the appeal I posted almost two years ago remains unanswered.

I seem to recall that one of the early researchers - was it Newbold? - posited a base-5 for the cipher text.
All the above with the caveat that I'm not convinced the text is in cipher at all. Thiniking something unlikely, though, is all the more reason to explore the possibility imo.
