It doesn't actually:

      4096 8193 6387
    = 4096+8192
    +         1 6384
    +           …

I noticed this on the last bit of wolframs display space also. The fact that it continues and is basically infinite sequence arithmetic overflow is insanely beautiful.

1/7 does it too. 14 28 56 128 <- too big

[Sharlin]

The same. It's simply regular addition that happens to overflow.

You can seemingly increase the digit space by doing 1/99998 or so.
