24.1. Quantity-kinds and units of IEC 80000-6
A catalogued kind pairs a dimensioned quantity-kind with its exact source in the series — the part, the printed item designation (e.g. "6-51.1"), the principal quantity symbol, and the coherent SI unit symbol. The citation travels with the kind as data, so the source of each definition can be rendered or audited downstream rather than kept in a comment.

structure PropertyKindCalculus.Iso80000.CataloguedKind : Type
A **catalogued quantity-kind**: a {dimensioned kind} together with its exact source in the 80000 series — the part, the printed item designation, the principal quantity symbol, and the coherent SI unit symbol. Every field other than `qk` is a *citation locator*; the citation travels with the kind as data, so a downstream model can render or audit the source of each definition. Shared by every part module, so the structure is defined once rather than per part.Fields
ref : PropertyKindCalculus.Iso80000.StandardRef
The part of the series this kind is defined in.
item : String
The item designation as printed, e.g. "3-3".
symbol : String
The principal quantity symbol, e.g. "A".
coherentUnit : String
The coherent SI unit symbol, e.g. "m²" (a citation locator).
qk : PropertyKindCalculus.DimensionedKind LTMCTDimensionBase
The dimensioned kind itself.
Realized as structure CataloguedKind over a DimensionedKind, with cite rendering
e.g. IEC 80000-6, Edition 2.0, 2022-11 item 6-51.1 (the one IEC-published part of the
catalogue). The catalogue lists all 85 items in item order — electric current (6-1),
electric charge (6-2.1), magnetic flux (6-22.1), the impedance family (6-51.1 … 6-51.5),
the AC power quantities (6-56 … 6-61), active energy (6-62), … — each paired with its
coherent SI unit symbol.
A capacitance carries the charge generator squared (item 6-13). The catalogued
capacitance kind has charge-exponent two in PhysLib's dimension group — the farad's
C²·M⁻¹·L⁻²·T² reproduced as a checked computation over the new electric-current base
axis, not an annotation. Uses the dimension map.

theorem PropertyKindCalculus.Iso80000.Part6.capacitance_dim_charge : (PropertyKindCalculus.Iso80000.Part6.capacitance.dim LTMCTDimensionBase).charge = 2
theorem PropertyKindCalculus.Iso80000.Part6.capacitance_dim_charge : (PropertyKindCalculus.Iso80000.Part6.capacitance.dim LTMCTDimensionBase).charge = 2
**Capacitance is `C²·M⁻¹·L⁻²·T²`: its charge-exponent is `2`** — the farad carries the charge generator squared (item 6-13).
Proved as capacitance_dim_charge : capacitance.dim.charge = 2 in the Iso80000
library, discharged by norm_num over the PhysLib dimension lemmas for the charge
generator. The companions electricCurrent_dim_charge = 1 and electricCurrent_dim_time
= -1 (item 6-1, the ampere as C·T⁻¹), resistance_dim_charge = -2 (item 6-46, the
ohm), and magneticFlux_dim_charge = -1 (item 6-22.1, the weber) record the rest of the
electromagnetic algebra.
An ampere and a volt are not commensurable. Electric current and electric potential are distinct kinds, so their units cannot be compared by ratio — a type-level fact, not a runtime check. Uses metrological units.

The ampere and the volt are **not** commensurable — electric current and electric potential are distinct kinds (a type-level fact).

are each WellFormed (electric current and resistance are ratio-scale).
