On the lattice of physical concepts
Philippe A.J.G. Chevalier · Ghent University Academic Bibliography (Ghent University) · 2012
Unlike the organization of the chemical elements in a periodic table, no conclusive results are published about the organization of the physical quantities.A physical quantity is a quantity that is used in the description of physical processes.The physical processes are modeled through mathematical expressions that use physical quantities expressed in different types: scalars, vectors, multi-vectors, matrices and tensors.The scientific community adopted by convention the SI units and listed the physical quantities.The mathematical structure of the SI physical quantities is unknown.Here we show that classes of physical quantities, that are expressed according to the SI convention, are mathematically classified by leader classes of the seven dimensional integer lattice.
