Extroduction
- This article aims at providing a new understanding of the concepts of counting and measuring. Although we are familiar with the concepts of counting and measuring — or we are counting and measuring without the need to be familiar with these concepts —, established systems of quantities, symbols, and units do not sufficiently reflect the fact that quantities for measurement of size (mass [kg], volume [L]) are opposite to a group of quantities that are strictly linked to counting (count [x], amount [mol], charge [C]). The units 'mole' for amount and 'coulomb' for charge are connected to the unit 'counting-unit' [x] for count by fixed stoichiometries, but [x] is not part of the International System of Units (SI).
- This article is relevant to all areas of science and philosophy and all disciplines that are involved with counting and measuring. However, for strictly Practical-Technical Realists R(PT), the Canonical Carol is too theoretical. For Technical-Theoretical Nerds N(TT), the Canonical Carol is too practical. If you identify yourself as a PTC-type of the Brave person B(PTC) — Practical&Technical-Theoretical&Canonical — then pop up to the PDF of the Canonical Carol.
- The Canonical Carol is written in recursive form about recursive systems, where an experimental system is contained in an instrumental system, an extroduction introduces the introduction, and the quantity 'count' devours its own physicochemical unit x. Enjoy the Canonical Carol from beginning to end, the Carolical Canon from end to beginning, to realize that the beginning is not in the introduction, and the beginning is not in the Canonical Carol — the beginning is at a Higher-level H in the canon, and level H is the extroduction.
- This extroduction is the external or executive introduction to the Canonical Carol.

Extroductory Canons on quantities, symbols, and units. A composition composed in the spirit of Douglas Hofstadter
- While there exists only one single Canonical Carol, there is a potential maximum number of Extroductory Canons set by the global number of counting human people or by the number of groups of counting human people. Babies can count before being taught to count and before talking, and the ability to count is not restricted to the human species. For each group of persons a different pattern triggers counting. This trigger-pattern should be encoded into each specific variation or voice of Extroductory Canons. Such a large number of Extroductions cannot be included within the Canonical Carol, since it would blow up its word count beyond a reasonable number of words allowed in a scientific system of publication. The word-count expansion in the extroduction aims at introducing different PTC-audiences the why to open the box, and to the how to read it's contents. The Extroduction is the manual for the Canonical Carol written in different Voices. As usual, this manual for the Canonical Carol cannot be well understood without reading the Canonical Carol, which should be used as a manual for the Extroductory Canons. As always, read the manual first.
