Funny fact. Since all rational numbers are (possibly repeating) binary fractions, all of the bitwise operators are well-defined on then. ~x is especially strange because 0.1111... = 1.

I don't know if bit reversal has any particular meaning there. One thing it reminds me of is that if you have a polynomial f(x) = sum(k=0..n) a[k] x^k then f(1/x) x^n = sum(k=0..n) a[n-k] x^k. In digital signal processing, substituting z = 1/z corresponds to time reversal.

p-adic numbers are, in general, very curious, but also pretty insane to work with
