What does 1 MAPM-word represent?

A MAPM-word counts the fixed-size limb elements used internally to represent numbers in arbitrary-precision arithmetic, reflecting storage in limbs rather than raw bytes.

Why convert MAPM-words to bits?

Converting to bits allows users to translate internal limb-based storage into fundamental digital data units for better understanding and compatibility with standard measurements.

Is the conversion factor always 32 bits per MAPM-word?

No, the 32-bit factor applies only when a MAPM-word is defined as 32 bits; the size may vary depending on implementation or platform.
