= Canonical units
{wiki=Canonical_units}
Canonical units, in a general context, refer to a standardized set of units used for measurement in various fields such as physics, engineering, and mathematics. These units provide a consistent framework for expressing quantities in a way that is widely recognized and accepted. In physics, for example, canonical units often align with the International System of Units (SI), which defines the fundamental units (meter, kilogram, second, etc.) and derived units (such as joules for energy, or newtons for force).
