Dimensions of measurement #

The base dimensions a measure function measures in (mass, volume, distance, time, cardinality, …) and the dimension group of the quantity calculus they generate: the free abelian group on the base dimensions, written multiplicatively, so that .of .mass / .of .volume is the dimension of density and 1 that of pure numbers.

References #

A base dimension of measurement. cardinality is the dimension of [zabbal-2005]'s CARD, the Num head behind cardinal numerals, aligned by [scontras-2014] with measure terms.
