Parameterized Unitals #91

Open szymczdm opened 7 years ago

szymczdm commented 7 years ago

We should create parameterized unitals.

Ex: mass of water would be a unital derived from mass (Unital), with water parameters fed in. Mass of PCM would then be handled in the same way (using PCM instead of Water), and so on.

I believe this will need a bit of nontrivial design, and may be easier once the examples have been cleaned up.

I think we'll need the idea (I don't really want to say 'concept' here!) of a "physical material". Then a whole bunch of units can be attached to quantities of that physical material.

I have a sneaking suspicion this one is going to become important soon. I'm still going to leave it unassigned, but I should remember to do another pass on unassigned issues in a couple of weeks.
