IOW, without a frame of reference which can only be created by at least
one proposed constant, the variables remain _irrational_.

1) Meteorology is supposedly the study of the weather. Have you
applied your reasoning to the study of the weather? What is the single
variable that can be compared in the theory of the weather?
2) Geology is the study of the earth. Have you applied your
reasoning to the study of the earth? What is the single variable that
can be compared in the theory of the earth?
3) Astronomy is the study of the stars. ...
4) Psychology is the study of the mind...
My point is that complex systems aren't easily analyzed from one
unique "reference frame". I am not even sure exactly how you are
generalizing the concept of "reference frame."
