WikiMechanics Constants

For WikiMechanics, each reference sensation and reference artifact is mathematically represented by a number. These numbers are called constants because the reference sensations are not changed very often.

Icon	Reference	Symbol	Value	Units	Link
	seeing the Sun	k_S	0.07	none	Hypothesis of Temporal Homogeneity
	seeing blood
	seeing gold
	touching ice	T ^b	0	C	Temperature
	touching steam	T ^t	100	C	Temperature
	touching the Earth	κ_ee	43	none	The Quark Metric

	International Prototype Metre	k_M
	International Prototype Kilogram	k_V			Specific Volume

	thermometric reference sensation	k_T		MeV	Thermal Energy
	pressure reference sensation	k_P			Mass
	proton lifetime	k_τ	1.2 x 10⁵²	s	Lifetime

To do: reconcile the traditional constants with the WikiMechanics constants. For example

$\mbox{\fontsize{14}{18}\selectfont \pi = 1/ \, 4 \! \left( 1 + k_{S} \right) \! k_{S} $}$

Connecting the triple point and boiling point of water to touching ice and steam seems straightforward. And it looks like the electromagnetic component of the quark metric could be related to the speed of light.
