Function T: (scalar) then has the form T = y  ° φ-1. Sseveral space points mapped to a point on the scale. φ -1: inverse of the function: (archetype instead of image): because it is processed twice: the second time backwards). φ (x): x coordinates of in space φ -1 (x): images of the coordinates on the line R). >Natural laws, >Natural constants, >Measurements, >Theories, >Physics.}, note = { Field I H.
