Nope. YOU have imposed specific units onto the

particular units on its variables and constants [@], it merely
requires that they be self-consistent.

Yes, of course. Good point. Similarly, any result that depends on

Because velocity is 'relative' (relative in respect to what you

Since the used coordinate system defines 'stationary', you need a

everything else.

Things like "negative time" and "anti-deSitter space" are
unphysical, as are the non-real parts of complex analysis,
usually, though for example if you consider the Cartanian as
essentially different from the Gaussian-Eulerian, complex
analysis, then the Majorana spinor makes an example of a
detectable observable, though, one might aver that that's its
real part, in the hypercomplex.

The, "dimensionless", when a usual sort of "dimensional analysis"
is the Buckingham-Pi approach, is a detachment of sorts from
the "dimensional analysis".

Quantities, and their derivations, have implicit units,

"What can't you reaD? This has been all about it."
Hmm..., not very helpful.
Force: is parameterized by time,
force is a function of time.
In Einstein's theory, "Relativity",
"Relativity" has that the Space-Time
is an differential-system of inertial-systems,
parameterized by a "the time".
So, it's implicit, and the implicits here reflect
paramterizations of functions who symbolic representations
represent algebraic quantities, and "implicit" has
its usual meaning from differential analysis.
Then, implicits like "the infinitely-many implicit
quantitiers in front of each variable in a logical
expression", gets into quantification, and, quantification.
The "usual" meaning(s).
