- Enum Constant Detail
  - NOMINAL
```
public static final Scale NOMINAL
```
    The 'Nominal' literal object. Supports an equality operation on one-to-one object basis. Often used in conjunction with categorized data. Supported mathematical operations: =/≠. Mathematically, it is considered an unordered set. For example, dots with the colors RED, BLUE, and PURPLE can be related to their color but nothing more can be said.

  - ORDINAL
```
public static final Scale ORDINAL
```
    The 'Ordinal' literal object. Supports an equality operation as well as a monotonic increasing order. Supported mathematical operations: =/≠ ; </>. Mathematically, it is considered an ordered set.
    
    For example, the rank of a sports team in a 18-members league is on an ordinal scale. However, the teams with the same difference in rank does not mean that the difference of their achievements or performance is/was equal.

  - INTERVAL
```
public static final Scale INTERVAL
```
    The 'Interval' literal object. Supports the same as the ordinal scale but the magnitude of the difference between two values is comparable. Values can be negative. Supported mathematical operations: =/≠ ; ; +/− . Mathematically, it is considered an affine space or line. For example, the temperature in degress Celcius is an interval measure. If you have two temperatures you can quantify the difference.

  - RATIO
```
public static final Scale RATIO
```
    The 'Ratio' literal object. Supports the same as an interval scale and additionally has an non-abitrary zero-point. Supported mathematical operations: =/≠ ; ; +/− ; ×/÷. Mathematically, it is considered a field. For example, the temperature in degress Fahrenheit is a ratio scale. It's zero point is non arbitrary as the particles which comprise matter at this temperature have zero kinetic energy.
