The complete operational definition of physical law in three lines:
- Remove input units — cancel the arbitrary human unit standards from the measured quantities (e.g., divide by the non reduced Planck Jacobians.
- Do the physics as a pure ratio — work with dimensionless ratios only. This is the only step that involves the eternal, unit‑free relationships.
- Decorate with output units — multiply by the appropriate Planck Jacobians (or any chosen unit standards) to express the result in human‑readable units.
Step 2 is the only physics. Steps 1 and 3 are pure accounting — converting between the dimensionless reality and our arbitrary measurement conventions.
