In another comment I made in this thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49373317 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49373317 I think it came to the understanding that a "turn" is similar to a dimensionless quantity, as it takes the full circle/cycle as a fundamental 1. Apparently, using the turn as a unit allows one to get rid of pi and e in Euler's formula in favor of 1 and -1.
