This may have seemed like a great idea in 2013, but the repeated "set/clear bits", a.k.a. clamping phases at each level of the hierarchy slowly subtract key strength.
Don't use this as described. Check out Ristretto.
Semi-private keys are an expansion of the traditional idea

| Countable ordinals are useful in "big number" contests, because they | |
