Well, I don't know about this being a "logical" system, but there's a certain security through obscurity that might be advantageous in protecting The Waerd drawings and plans from espionage?

This is at least three tW further than I would have taken this topic. Bravo.
You're missing one base unit, current... perhaps the 10x the current that it takes to electrocute the average Waerd? (approx. 1 ampere)
You could also add additional derived units, such as energy! For example, 1 joule would be about (900 · tW · tW²)/tW². I foresee this system of units being incredibly easy to use with no adverse side effects whatsoever! :D
(Also, I'm operating on the assumption that you meant to say one time-Waerd is about a minute... since a pulse of 6,000 bpm would be terrifying. xD)

You know, I left out current because I assumed that the unit would not be included in The Measure of The Waerd until the discovery of electricity. Perhaps something is possible using static electricity, but the current would be very low. I'll think on it and try to round out the base units!
As far as time (tW), who can say what secrets the biology of these strange creatures might reveal? (But yeah... totally meant something reasonably approximating 1 second). ;-)
And yes, further derived units are limited only by imagination and scientific need! With such straightforward, rarely changing definitions as we have above, any well informed member of The Waerd is free to define new units whenever additional clarity (or obfuscation) is required.

It's been a few tW since we last discussed units of measurement. I'm to fault for that- I gained about a tW over the holidays, which has honestly sapped my energy a bit, but that hasn't slowed me down more than a tW or two!
How about you? With another tW or so of new CoE supporters joining each month, hopefully someone is surveying new members of The Waerd to see if our fundamental units have shifted in value!

The unit of mass seems wrong, nearly twice what it should be if the Waerd are on the smallish size.
The unit of temperature also seems wrong. It would make the desert boiling hot, literally, which is too high to sustain most terrestrial multicellular life. I think half that, 0.5 degrees C, is closer to the truth.

Some scholars believe that the heavy mineralization of the springs in Waerd lands result in heavier bones as well as a lower metabolism that allows them to survive in the hot desert.
