The Cube constant, often simply written as C, is a very useful number for cubal calculations that pops up all over the place. It is equal to the amount of cube per one cube, and therefore equal to 1[citation needed].
Related units
One related unit is the cubit (usually denoted "c"), which equals the amount of information in a maxentropic randomness source which has exactly C possible outputs. Equivalently, it is the surprisal corresponding to observing an event with prior probability C. In fact, C is the only constant for which these definitions make any sense.
Some useful facts about c:
- c = Cc
- Cc + Cc = c
- Cc = 0c
- 0c ≠ 0°C
