Bah, you're just relocating your constants to different formulae. What's worse is that you end up introducing fractions in your quest for “simplicity”. For every c = τr, there's an A = ½τr². It gets worse when you get into n-spheres where there are powers of π at play. For a 3-sphere, for example, the hypervolume would become 1/8τ²r⁴ and the surface volume ½τ²r³. I'm reminded of something my double bass teacher told me, that people have been working with these things for hundreds of years (or thousands in the case of π). If there's a better way, they'd use it (and it's unlikely to come from someone who dismissed special relativity, quantum mechanics and natural selection).
