Revised Abstract (English)
This paper presents recent extensions and revisions to the Universal Unit System, which employs the duodecimal number system (base 12) and fundamental physical constants—such as the speed of light in vacuum, the quantum of action, and the Boltzmann constant—to define coherent units. A central aim is to unify physical measurements (e.g., length, mass, temperature, time) with a consistent duodecimal structure, while also accommodating human‐scale and cosmic‐scale phenomena.
A noteworthy feature is the Harmonic System, conceptually designed so that crucial physical and astronomical constants (including the Bohr radius and the Rydberg constant) can be approximated by multiples or submultiples of integer powers of twelve. The paper distinguishes between physical time (measured by the “nic” unit) and calendar time (measured by the “day” and its derivatives). In particular, the newly adopted “nodus” (day / 128) serves as the greatest common divisor of a tropical year and a day, illustrating how calendar time aligns with astronomical cycles. Derived units such as “hexon” (64 years = 26years≒126 nodus) and “ternon” (12-3 nodus) further express calendar structures in a duodecimal manner.
To better address everyday thermal measurements, the paper introduces “degree H” (°H) under an Earth‐local extension. This scale places the boiling point of water at 100; °H and sets zero at an offset ensuring typical outdoor temperatures remain positive. By doing so, it reconciles large‐scale universal definitions with practical daily usage.
Additionally, optional alternative naming schemes are discussed, whereby certain metric units (traditionally named after scientists) can be replaced with mythological references or quantity‐concept labels. The paper explores potential benefits of such approaches, while retaining the established metric nomenclature as a default.
Through these revisions, the Universal Unit System continues to develop as a flexible framework that simultaneously embraces duodecimal efficiency, cosmic relevance, and human convenience.

Revised Additional Abstract Text (English)
Compared to the publicly available official version, this revised document expands the discussion of calendar time units by introducing new definitions and clarifications. Specifically, it replaces the former “clock” unit with “nodus” (day / 128) and presents “hexon” (64 years = 26years≒126 nodus) and “ternon” (12-3 nodus) as derived calendar intervals. The temperature scale for everyday use now includes “degree H” (°H), which places the boiling point of water at 100; °H and sets a convenient zero offset to keep common atmospheric temperatures positive.
Additionally, the system identification for units has been shifted from the suffix to the prefix, and the identifier for the Harmonic System has changed from “h” to “±.” The optional proposal to rename certain metric units after mythological figures, first introduced in the previous version, has been further refined in the footnote 28 to address improved consistency. With minor editorial revisions, these changes aim to provide a clearer framework, unifying physical constants, Earth‐scale references, and duodecimal notation with straightforward labeling.
