The article explores the similarities between logarithms and other mathematical concepts, including vectors, partial derivatives, and dimensions. It introduces the idea of 'baseless' logarithms as an abstract object that can be used to express numbers in terms of their multiplicative components relative to a chosen unit (like bits or nats). The author discusses how this perspective connects logarithms with operations like projections, translations, and even concepts from complex analysis and number theory. The article also touches on the idea that dimensions might act like logarithms when considering vector spaces over different fields.
