I just wanted to note that formulas and inference between them (to 
produce implicit ones) can work without a central canonical formula, as 
long as the set of explicit formulas provides enough info to build the 
right path. The result can be of any unit type you wish as long as it is 
encountered in this path.

BTW, what does SI mean?
