It seems to me that purely mathematical numbers also have units. Their unit is unity.



This is what I mean:

    1, 1+1, 1+1+1, 1+1+1+1, 1+1+1+1+1, 1+1+1+1+1+1, 1+1+1+1+1+1+, 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1, 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1, 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1, and so on...


Is mass also measured in kilogram-unities?


You might say all units are unit-y


I'm not talking about "all units". All purely mathematical numbers are multiples of 1. 1+1, 1+1+1 and so on. So mathematical numbers heve 1 as unit.


Unit-y, like unit-ish, unit-ful
