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 Tun = 0.953924 cubic meter (m³)

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 dm³ = 0.001 cubic meter (m³)

Step-by-step substitution for Tun → Cubic Decimeter:V(dm³) = V(Tun) × ( 0.953924 / 0.001 ) = V(Tun) × 953.92377

1. Normalize Input to SI Base Unit (L):
V = 1 tun × 0.95392377 = 0.95392377 L
2. Apply Engineering Parameter (ρ):
