Hi Johannes
Glad to hear that old post are still appreciated.

I have to start by admitting to my lack of presence in MD the last few months, so I'm
afraid I'm not up to speed about your model with a refined grid. But I'd like to give
some feedback anyway.
The danger with a refining of the grid is that you might cause platypi. I.e. if you make
a division that makes sense for the moment, it might backfire later on if you discover
that it causes a single entity to fall in two compartments. Like that poor platypus that
was both an egg layer and a mammal.
The beauty of the dimensional approach is that it absolutely guarantees that such platypi
will never happen. The definition of a dimension is that the only way to express anything
in that dimension is to use a unit of that dimension. For example, the only way to express
time is by using a unit that expresses time, the only way to express length is by using a
length unit and so on.
In MoQ terms, the only way to express mass is to use a mass unit, for example kg. This
might seem to be a half truth since mass can be transformed to energy and therefore
expressed using an energy unit, for example joule. But since the only level, or dimension,
involved is the inorganic, we discover that this transformation from mass to energy
is metaphysically no transformation at all.
Back to your refined grid, what sub-divisions did you have in mind?
Magnus
