Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (cubic meter (m³)) without arbitrary rounding:

V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)

Universal Dimensional Conversion Law (ISO 80000 / NIST SP 811)

1. Source SI Bridge (k_source):1 PL = 1 × 10¹² cubic meter (m³)

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 Cord = 3.624556 cubic meter (m³)

Step-by-step substitution for Petaliter → Cord:V(Cord) = V(PL) × ( 1 × 10¹² / 3.624556 ) = V(PL) × 2.758958 × 10¹¹
