Hi Bugbear,

I'm not that gifted in explaining, but I t'll try.

First if your question concerns the representation of binary numbers:
Then look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_numeral_system

I am familiar with multi precision and multi base concepts.

what do you mean by
"Bits 16 bis 12"

and

"Bit 17s bis 12"

what is "bis" ?
