Measuring
AWES
for all of its practical applications
-- SI is the acronym for the International System of Units --
Fundamental constants! Basic units!
"Specially energized cesium atoms “tick” with a specific frequency. We
count 9,192,631,770 of those ticks and call the elapsed time interval a
second."

- Comparing AWES
- When a complex kite system holds in its parts subassemblies
that function to fulfill objectives, there will be a host of things to
measure, report, compare, ... Measuring things for design, control,
management, statusing, ... will ever carry some uncertainty.
Communication efficiency invites using standard units for measures.
- Special ratios, variables, or parameters defined by
researchers and developers may finally be reduced to a number or
resultant of fundamental standard units.

etc. )
