Dear Peter,
You said "If you are acknowledging that every point in real or imaginary space has to mathematically take the form of a complex number, then I can state to you that that is absolutely true. You need to keep that in mind when you work with ratios. If you say 1 for example you have to specify... one what?"
I agree that "units" are as important as the mathematics (real and/or imaginary "bits") that we use to measure the "it". I think that Julian Barbour's "Bit from It" essay addressed this idea very well. Barbour's example is: I cannot eat the number "1", unless that number has units of something like "apple".
I realize that I misread your comment, and gave an inappropriate answer earlier (although that answer may have been mostly appropraite for Yuri).
Have Fun!
