The Hooper-Luck Triangle (HLT) concept is interesting. The HLT concept is quite a bit more complex than what I found but they share a common factor, one leg of the triangle has to be a constant. I use the term "constrained parameter" for the constant, (see Universal.pdf) and this for a reason. In my application example I use the value of the 21cm line of hydrogen as a "constant", but I find that this value is not listed as a constant on the NIST web site or any other place.

I haven't downloaded the application but I intend to. I noted the application uses a "time angle" and I will have to examine what that means. In Universal.pdf, it illustrates that the base value time unit can be a duration other than the earth second. Also, the HLT mentions that the speed of light can be equated to the value of 1, which also is discussed in the Universal.pdf article section titled "Unit of Length, Time and Speed of Light Redefined".

I have been distributing the Universal.pdf article to members of the scientific/academic community for several years, and the replies of those that responded range from bizarrre to a one word response (from a Professor of Electrical Engineering), "interesting".

From the "gamert" site, Steve Hooper stated, "We have encountered some sceptics, but even they had to admit that the basic principles behind the HLT and the software were 'interesting'."

Even more interesting is where I identified the triangle relationships, but that is an issue for another type of forum.
