Well, Zuse is aa Unit for
m^2 * kg * w

bit * IPS
shouldn't that be m^3 ? (cubic meters, not square meters)
So a for example the Zuse 1 (100% mechanical,
binary floating point) ends up somewhere near
55 Z,
Intrinsically, the Zuse 1 MUST BE the standard!
(Zuse 1 == 1 Zuse)
Therefore, either we need additional constant coefficients, or we are
leaving out one more parameter in the calculation. (rarity? inability to
run MICROS~1 software? weight? unknown to the general population?
