// ExpiredValue is a scalar value that is continuously expired (decreased
// exponentially) based on the provided logarithmic expiration offset value.
//
// The formula for value calculation is: base*2^(exp-logOffset). In order to
// simplify the calculation of ExpiredValue, its value is expressed in the form
// of an exponent with a base of 2.
//
// Also here is a trick to reduce a lot of calculations. In theory, when a value X
// decays over time and then a new value Y is added, the final result should be
// X*2^(exp-logOffset)+Y. However it's very hard to represent in memory.
// So the trick is using the idea of inflation instead of exponential decay. At this
// moment the temporary value becomes: X*2^exp+Y*2^logOffset_1, apply the exponential
// decay when we actually want to calculate the value.
//
// e.g.
// t0: V = 100
// t1: add 30, inflationary value is: 100 + 30/0.3, 0.3 is the decay coefficient
// t2: get value, decay coefficient is 0.2 now, final result is: 200*0.2 = 40
