The selected measurement is vertical relative to a defined base or reference level.
The physical boundary or individual size can change. Vastoscope uses a documented reference value to make comparison possible.
Vastoscope compares the SI value in metres for this representative adult height. A ratio is mathematically valid as a linear span, while the interface identifies when the two selected definitions differ.
Familiar scale bridges
These anchors are selected by logarithmic proximity from familiar human, engineered, planetary and cosmic references.

Evidence trail
Vastoscope keeps the displayed number separate from its measurement type and certainty. Representative and model-dependent values are intentionally labelled instead of presented as exact edges.
