+ An optional environment variable ` ENV["SIMILITUDE"] ` induces ` UnitSystems.similitude() ` to return ` true ` , giving flexibility for building dependencies whenever it is desirable to toggle usage between ` UnitSystems ` (default) and ` Similitude ` (requires environment variable specification). For example, in ` MeasureSystems ` and ` Geophysics ` this option is used to increase flexibility with variety in local compilation workflow.

A ` UnitSystem ` is a consistent set of dimensional values selected to accomodate a particular use case or standardization.

It is possible to convert derived physical quantities from any ` UnitSystem ` specification into any other using accurate values.

Eleven fundamental constants ` kB ` , ` ħ ` , ` 𝘤 ` , ` μ₀ ` , ` mₑ ` , ` Mᵤ ` , ` Kcd ` , ` θ ` , ` λ ` , ` αL ` , ` g₀ ` are used to govern a specific unit system consistent scaling.
