"textContent": "Your idea of a “unit” has value, especially because it tries to give a common name to something that appears at many levels of abstraction.\n\nOne thing it reminds me of is how mathematics and logic often need some primitive notion before the rest of the structure can be built. Different areas choose different primitives: set theory starts with sets and membership, lambda calculus starts with abstraction and application, category theory starts with objects and arrows, and formal logic often has constants such as bottom and top.\n\nThose are not all the same kind of thing, so I would not want to push the comparison too far. But they do show a similar pattern: once a field chooses a small, stable vocabulary, it becomes easier to reason consistently at higher levels.",
