The International System of Units is great, but broken. When it was written, the authors let some inconsistency exist as part of the specification for convenience. Hence this repo is a mind-dump to attempt to define a new spec which builds on SI, but attempts to normalize the system. We call this CommonUnits. This is the opening draft. Open to PRs.

This is a living, growing document that does not define any solid specifications right now. Instead of seeing this as a serious effort to change everyone from SI to CU, it should be taken as an interesting "what if" thought experiment. See Preface to understand what we think a hypothetical CommonUnits should do.
