Intrinsically,
the Zuse 1 MUST BE the standard!
(Zuse 1 == 1 Zuse)
Naaaa - this would be again a by definition standard. The basic
idea of the SI system is to take everything aut of natur, so we
may end up with somewhat odd numbers for derivated units, but
straight calculations for conversion, and no arbitrarily factors. 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?
Naa - to specific - it has to be stuff presemnt for each computer.
