Elementary unit

Description

The elementary unit [x] is the unit of a count N_X [x]. The International System of Units defines the unit of a count as 1. Then the Number 1 is the Unit of the Count of Entities — NUCE. This causes a number of formal inconsistencies which are resolved by introducing the elementary unit [x] as the abstracted unit of Euclid’s unit, which is an elementary entity U_X [x], and as the unit of Euclid’s number, which is a count N_X [x].

Abbreviation: x
