It seems to me that purely mathematical numbers also have units. Their unit is unity.

This is what I mean:

    1, 1+1, 1+1+1, 1+1+1+1, 1+1+1+1+1, 1+1+1+1+1+1, 1+1+1+1+1+1+, 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1, 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1, 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1, and so on...

Is mass also measured in kilogram-unities?

Unit-y, like unit-ish, unit-ful
