No not that I don't believe but the dots are pointing out the 90 degree angles so you see why each number is drawn the way we draw it that way because they have that many angles. There were different number systems which binary being an original number system, other cultures created their own variations. Decimal to me just refers to the 90 degree angles because angles or angels are all interconnected as well. Like angel numbers and also 90 degrees as a decimal degree is just 90.0
So originally it would be written with just dots no line?
