> Normalize everything to, say, 1/64 inch units If you "normalize everything" you get the metric system (up to a scaling factor): all distances are expressed in metres, all energies in Joules, all forces in Newtons, all pressures in Pascals, etc. Note that the latter are just naming conventions (for kgm^2/s^2, kgm/s^2 and kg/ms^2, respectively). This can lead to some unwieldy numbers, e.g. "turn left after four million 1/64 inches", so naming conventions are often used, like "mega" for "million".
