Dimensional exponents are specified according to the [International System of Quantities](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Quantities), as defined in ISO 80000-1. The order is: length, mass, time, electric current, thermodynamic temperature, amount of substance, and luminous intensity (m, kg, s, A, K, mol, cd). For example, speed (m/s) would be denoted as _(1, 0, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0)_.
