  A small formal tool that tracks length, time, and mass through every calculation, so constants like hbar and G keep their physical meaning.

• Constants Dimensions Dim Hbar

  The reduced Planck constant has the dimensions of action, and a formal library records that fact as a definition, not as a derived law.

• Constants Dimensions Dim L

  A dimension is a label for what kind of quantity you are counting; dim_L is the label for length.

  A dimensionless quantity is a pure number with no physical units, and in dimensional analysis it is the base case from which all other dimensions are built.

• Constants Dimensions Dimension

  A dimension is a triple of whole-number exponents that tells how a physical quantity scales in length, time, and mass.
