For a system like this, what defines what can be used as a digit? It's not base ten but there aren't really examples beyond 1-4. Could you use hexadecimals digits to make large numbers with something like

BAFD
^^^^
||||
|||└ D^1 = 13 in Place-Value Decimal (PVD)
||└ F^2 = 256 PVD
|└ A^3 = 1000 PVD
B^4 = 14641 PVD

1A3D poly = 13 + 256 + 1000 + 14641 = 15910 PVD

I guess I'm asking how or if a polynomial system interacts with a base system since it's still involved with the digits of a poly number.
