It write out numbers on modular? square form, just copy past the HTML embedded javascript into text, save as HTML run i brower and you see.

Decimal base 
1234=1000+200+30+4 i bad at terminiology but let us call modular base 10 form.

The script convert to modular square form number and write out. 
1234= 35 3 +0
35^2 + 3^3 = 1225 + 9 =1234

It is very basic
