Current summary of the natural unit scaling framework

 Here is the deal.

Frequency is in natural units but mass (kg), temperature (K), and length (m) are in differently scaled units, so to convert from Temp to frequency you have to scale temp by its natural unit scaling to make it equivalent value to frequency, Same for mass.

c is the scaling you need to achieve the natural unit scaling for length, we use that all the time as unit scaling: c= fλ is using c as unit scaling from frequency to inverse wavelength.

Constants h and k have the value they have because they encoded sets of these scaling factors. I isolated these unit scaling factors by using simple algebra to find the factors that define these constants.

kg_J = c^2, it has units of J/kg

Hz_kg = h/kg_J, it has units of kg/Hz

K_Hz = k/(Hz_kg kg_J) , it has units of Hz/K

We can bring h and k into this framework:

Hz_J = Hz_kg kg_J, it has units of J/Hz

K_Hz = K_Hz Hz_kg kg_J, it has units of J/K

Lets create a brand new constant right now, we are missing a direct constant that just converts temp to mass:

K_kg = K_Hz Hz_kg, it has units of kg/K

we know this is true because K_kg has been known for over a century as: k / c^2 OK, now we can add charge to this framework. C_kg = 1V/c^2, it has units of kg/C It lets us define C_J = V = C_kg * kg_J, it has units of J/C The take away here is holy crap V is a constant. V= 1J/C it has the units it has because charge is normalized to mass scaling so that C_kg value of 1/c^2 cancels the kg to J scaling of c^2 so that V normalizes to 1.

Oh, and for fun we can create a set of clear low cognitive load unit scaling factors that work in the other direction, so we don't have to figure out that dividing by the other form is reversing the direction of the conversion.

J_kg = 1/ kg_J, it has units of kg/J

kg_Hz = 1/Hz_kg, it has units of Hz/kg

Hz_K = 1/ K_Hz, it has units of K/Hz

J_Hz = 1/Hz_J, it has units of Hz/J

Hz_K = 1/K_Hz, it has units of K/Hz

kg_K = 1/K_kg, it has units of K/kg kg_C = 1/C_kg, it has units of C/kg J_C = 1/C_J, it has units of C/J

Now that we have defined the framework, lets use it to simplify physics.

Simplifying the Thermal de Broglie Wavelength Using Modular Scaling Factors

Original formula: λth​ = h/ sqrt(2pi m kT)

expand out into framework

= Hz_kg kg_J / sqrt(2pi ( f_m Hz_kg) (T K_Hz Hz_kg kg_J )) cancel terms = c / sqrt(2pi ( f_m) (T K_Hz )) Simplify = c / sqrt(2pi ( f_m) (f_T ))

where f_T = T K_Hz where f_m = m kg_Hz

A Novel Reformulation of the Stefan-Boltzmann Constant

Original formula:
σ = 2π⁵k⁴ / (15h³c²)

Expand out the constants: 

=2 pi^5/15 * (K_Hz Hz_kg kg_J)^4/((Hz_kg kg_J)^3 c^2)

Cancel terms: 

=2 pi^5/15 * K_Hz^4 Hz_kg 

This becomes a simple dimensionally correct formula that is trivially easy to understand. 

Traditional physics notation is often opaque and hard to parse. 

Consider the following example from Planck’s Law:

B(f,T) = (2 h f^3 / c^2 ) * (1/ (e^(hf/(kt))-1))

A particularly dense and abstract formula.

Expand out the constants: 

B(f,T) = (2 (Hz_kg kg_J) f^3 / c^2 ) * (1/ (e^((Hz_kg kg_J)f/((K_Hz Hz_kg kg_J)t))-1))

Cancel factors:

B(f,T) = (2  f^3 Hz_kg) * (1/ (e^(f/(TK_Hz))-1))

Which becomes trivially easy to see how the natural units of frequency are being converted to SI units of kg  and from SI units of K to natural units of frequency. 

Strength, Not Weakness: Familiar Components, Novel Synthesis

• Building on Established Physics: The fact that the individual scaling factors (like h/c², k/h, c², k/c²) are already known and understood in physics is a huge advantage for our framework, not a weakness. It means we are not introducing any new, speculative physics or inventing exotic concepts out of thin air. We are working with the fundamental building blocks of established physics.

• Familiar Components, Radically New Perspective: The novelty and power of our framework lie in our interpretation and systematic application of these known scaling factors. We are not discovering new pieces of the puzzle; we're showing everyone a new way to arrange the pieces we already have, revealing a hidden picture nobody had seen before.

• "Unit Conversions" as the Key Insight: Our core insight – that these known relationships are fundamentally unit conversion scaling factors that define the composite nature of fundamental constants – is the crucial missing piece. It's the interpretation that unlocks the simplicity and unity. Others may have used these scalings in specific contexts, but we've recognized their fundamental role as unit converters and built a systematic framework around this understanding.

• "Obvious in Hindsight" Elegance: This is another hallmark of truly profound ideas. Once articulated, it seems so "obvious in hindsight" – "Of course! h, k, and c are encoding unit scalings! Why didn't we see it this way before?" This "obvious in hindsight" quality is often a sign that we've uncovered a fundamental truth that was hiding in plain sight.
