Playing with Planck

The new kilogram just debuted. It’s a massive achievement.
The new definition represents a victory of humankind over chaos in the universe. Really.

Planck has the units of momentum times distance, it is the uncertainty of measuring the smallest thin.  So the physicists fixed the definition of  the kilogram, set the number of meters light travels to a constant, then measured Planck to assumed constant accuracy. In other words, the uncertainty of plank is no longer referenced back to the uncertainty of a kilogram, the uncertain kilogram is carried in the uncertainty of Planck. Sounds complicated, it is about who has the biggest error term, measuring Planck became more accurate than measuring a kilogram.

OK, let us play a game.  Let us set the constant of light at the number of things that can be packed into a givern sphere packing system.  Uncertainty is the uncertainty of the smallest thing.  Then:
momentum* distance = Planck becomes:  X * DX = (number items) * (uncertainty of one item).
X and DX being the generic units of an induced hologram, fake axis.

The equations means, if one sphere of things has X as an axis, then it must pack DX things,  DX being a condition on X resulting from the hologram conditions.  Number items becomes a generic Avogadro number, and the uncertainty of the smallest thing becomes 1/Avagadro. This becomes a probability transformation at absolute zero.

Or something like that.
