When creating any value, we refer to a suitable reference or standard — something constant and stable in its manifestations. In production processes, these are product specifications, samples of raw materials and finished products; in project management — the project plan; in establishing and maintaining an organisation — its organisational structure and the rules of interaction between its members. In everyday life, when solving problems or evaluating something, we also rely on relevant systems of measures: we glance at the clock to ascertain time, measure the temperature with the thermometer, the legality of an individual’s actions is determined through legislative norms, and his righteousness is assessed by drawing from spiritual sources.

Modern materialistic science also utilises certain standards, such as the International System of Units (SI). It provides a clear definition and standardisation of units of measurement and unifies communication between researchers from different countries and fields of science.

However, SI operates with units of measurement that are not related to humans and their ability to perceive them naturally without additional devices. For example, a metre is defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in a time interval of 1/299,792,458 seconds. A second is a time interval equal to the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom at 0 degrees Kelvin.

Thus, as science delved deeper into matter, the focus shifted from natural measures, in harmony with the eternal laws of the universe, to a virtual realm, detached from both humans and the nature surrounding them. Measures related to the proportions of the human body, the movement of the celestial luminaries, the speed of heartbeat or the distance travelled by pack animals in a day were replaced by a system of measures which cannot be perceived by humans, has no relation to them and requires complex measurements and calculations, which only machines are able to carry out quickly.

Science needs to return to a singular, fundamental, universal, and natural system of measures that can be perceived by the researcher in his own experience.

To develop a holistic concept that incorporates the observer, it is absolutely necessary to have a universal measure or a system of measures based on something natural — characteristic of the earthly world and accessible to human perception. Such a measure should be the key to the hierarchical order in which the basic laws of any investigated sphere are manifested.

In the remains of ancient civilisations, we can still see traces of more holistic systems of measures. This is particularly evident in classical art and architecture, which are areas where man endeavours to establish something for centuries. For this reason, we are not talking about discovery or creation, but rather about a return to a singular universal system of measures, albeit taking into account the achievements of materialistic science.
