2nd to last paragraph, last 2 words.

"ensure integrity", not "insure integrity".

6th in box

Paragraph 2 in the same box asserts we are base 10 because we use 10 'digits,' which appear to be 10 unique 'symbols' or 'characters.'

Paragraph 6 switches the sense of 'digit as symbol' by using 'digits' to mean 'places,' each of which may hold one of 85 'symbols.'

e.g., I suspect 84^20 < 2^128 <= 85^20?

In the language of the inset, I could write:
"2^128 could be represented by 20 digits containing one of 85 unique digits."

AND while I've got you on the email... great writers though you clearly are, you probably want to use 'founder' everywhere you've used 'flounder.' To 'flounder' is to walk around in shallow surf with a pointy stick, but to 'founder' is to sink and be in danger of drowning.
