It's binary in "fully reduced" form, what's interesting are the graphical rules for addition, multiplication and reduction.
(They correspond to things you can do with the expanded algebraic representation of a base-2 number, Sum a_k 2^k, but that's a necessary prerequisite for such a number system to work. After all, a way of writing numbers that did not ultimately correspond to the existing ways of writing numbers would be wrong.)
