Publisher's Summary

In this concise study, the basic principles of measurement-theory are stated. Topics covered include:

    Triangulation and precisification
  • Diachronic vs. synchronic measurement
  • The role of irrational numbers in measurement
  • Metrical conventionalism (conventionalism as to metrical standards) and nomic conventionalism (conventionalism as to the laws of nature)
  • Coordination of distinct metrical norms and the concomitant generalization of otherwise context-specific metrical concepts
  • Additivity and non-additivity of volume, mass, and other magnitudes, in relation to Relativity Theory
  • Scalar vs. vector magnitudes
