magnitudina
Magnitudina is a theoretical construct used to quantify the relative size of a magnitude across disparate domains. It functions as a dimensionless index intended to enable cross-domain comparisons of quantities that normally carry different units or scales.
Definition and construction: Given a magnitude m drawn from a domain M with a reference magnitude m0,
Properties and usage: Magnitudina is not unique; different choices yield different indices for the same magnitude.
Limitations: The approach relies on arbitrary reference choices and scale functions. It can obscure unit semantics,
Origin and reception: The term magnitudina has appeared in discussions within measurement theory in the early
