Building DIGIPIN: From Chaos to 4-Meter Precision Across India's Digital Geography

Step 1: Start with Earth's Bounds
Longitude: [-180, 180]
Latitude: [-90, 90]

Step 2: Recursive Subdivision
For Mumbai (19.0760°N, 72.8777°E):

Longitude (72.8777):
[-180, 180] → 72.8777 > 0 → Use right half  → Bit: 1
 → 72.8777 < 90 → Use left half  → Bit: 0
 → 72.8777 > 45 → Use right half  → Bit: 1
 → 72.8777 > 67.5 → Use right half [67.5, 90] → Bit: 1
...continuing for desired precision

Latitude (19.0760):
[-90, 90] → 19.0760 > 0 → Use upper half  → Bit: 1
 → 19.0760 < 45 → Use lower half  → Bit: 0
 → 19.0760 < 22.5 → Use lower half [0, 22.5] → Bit: 0
[0, 22.5] → 19.0760 > 11.25 → Use upper half [11.25, 22.5] → Bit: 1
...continuing for desired precision

Step 3: Interleave Bits
Longitude bits: 1011...
Latitude bits: 1001...
Interleaved: 11001011... (lon,lat,lon,lat...)

Step 4: Convert to Base32
11001011... → "te7u" (using base32 encoding)
