About levels
Why the levels load one at a time
Only level 0 travels with this article; the expansion runs to level 5. The complete expansion is several megabytes, so deeper levels are fetched one at a time when you ask for them.
To go deeper still, open any quantity in the reading as its own concept card — it carries its own derivation and its own depth ladder.

Try your own — the unit calculator
Ever wondered whether a formula “adds up”? This tool answers one plain question: do the units match? Pick a couple of quantities (distance, time, a speed…), join them with ×, ÷, +, or =, and press Run. It works out the resulting unit — for example distance ÷ time gives a speed, LT⁻¹ (metres per second) — and flags anything that can’t be right, like adding a length to a time.
Reads as: (cΔT₀x/(1−γt)³)(f′θ−fθ′)
“(cΔT₀x/(1−γt)³)(f′θ−fθ′)” is analysed by expanding its full defining equation (its children and their relations), not as a bare symbol. Use Check this concept’s units above for the same result.
